Abstract
The work discusses numerical simulation of metal solidification. The difficulties of calculatibg such processes are that simulation is conducted at several scale levels simultaneously. At present experimental studies cover numerous aspects of metal solidification; however, there is no generalized concept of this process. The model applied in this study is based on the concept of solidified alloy in the form of a porous medium, where propagation of perturbations is described by the Biot equations. In order to describe nucleation, the modified Cahn-Hillard equation is applied. Previously a one-dimensional (1D) numerical model has been developed, its convergence has been demonstrated and a possibility of obtaining of various modes of solidification has been shown at modification of parameters. This work presents the 2D numerical model and examples of calculations. Since a multiscale approach requires high CPU resources, the 2D calculations are based on explicit and explicit-iterative algorithms which are efficiently implemented using a multiprocessor computer.
