Melt flow-induced mechanical deformation of dendrites in alloy solidification: A coupled thermal fluid - solid mechanics approach
Melt flow during alloy solidification promotes more dendrite fragments or equiaxed grains due to dendrite fragmentation, while the complex interactions between melt flow and dendritic growth causing flow-induced dendrite deformation and dendrite fragmentations remain obscure.In this work, cellular automaton-finite volume approach and the displaceme
