Crystallization Process Modeling

Phase field modelling of crystal growth of NaCl in two dimensions

“…At low supersaturation, steadystate growth models provide an excellent quantitative description of growth rates and morphologies, 19 which can be directly compared to population balance models for crystallization at industrial scales. 20,21 The conventional phase-field (PF) approach is a diffuse interface model including diffusion and reaction kinetics that can be used to facilitate interface tracking but does not provide an accurate physical model of the interface on the atomic scale. 22 It can capture length scales between the atomistic approaches and the steady state growth models, as well as high-supersaturation morphologies.…”
