Interaction between primary dendrite arm spacing and velocity of fluid flow during solidification of Al–Si binary alloys

A new and more efficient numerical algorithm to simulate the solidification of binary metallic alloys, wherein for the first time, the undercooling of the liquidus temperature prior to solidification event and optimized thermo-physical properties was incorporated, has been recently developed and validated by various experiments. Subsequently, experiments were carried out to evaluate the validity of various theoretical models in the literature …
