SAMR Phase Field Modeling (2007/08/14)
Results for uniform grid case: theta = 90
- Domain size: 200x200
- Node spacing: 0.025
- Time step size (dt): 0.000195313 (computed in terms of dx, etc.)
- Time integration scheme: explicit 4th-order Runge-Kutta
- Spatial discretization: all 2nd-order, effective Laplacian is 9pt
- Mobility: 3000
- Strength of anisotropy: delta = 0.04
- Number of symmetry planes: j = 6
- Dimensionless latent heat: K = 2
- Dimensionless thermal conductivity: kappa = 1
- Initial undercooling: T0 = 272
- Equilibrium temperature: Teq = 273
- Rotation of system: theta = 90 degrees
- Initial solid: circle of radius 0.05
- No heat flux at boundaries. Homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions for phase field.
NOTES
- I didn't put the results after the simulation hit the wall because my computational cell is larger than the one Chin Yi used.
- There seem to be grid anisotropy effects here. Growth is faster along the y-axis.

- Grid anisotropy effects seem to be less important for this case.
