WANG Xin, YANG Binxin. Polymer crystallization by phase field method coupling with lattice Boltzmann method[J]. CIESC Journal, 2018, (S2): 193-199.DOI: 10.11949/j.issn.0438-1157.20181228.
On the basis of simulating the phase field method of dendritic growth
this work combined the multi-relaxation format of lattice Boltzmann method of the phase field method
established the phase field-lattice dynamic coupling model
and numerically simulated the microstructure of dendrite growth occurred in the process of polymer crystallization. This coupling model circumvented difficulties of traditional phase field method that needed resolve solid liquid interface accurately in high resolution which would severely impact the option of time steps. Using lattice Boltzmann method (LBM)
this work came up the adaptive time stepping
that allowed changing time step expect sizing grid correspondingly
in other words
time step can be large
however
the results of numerical simulation will not emerge the phenomenon of dispersion
avoid the using of high precision differential formats. Using FORTRAN to accomplish the coupling model's establishment and simulating the crystallization of isotactic polystyrene
this work researched the crystallization of isotactic polystyrene at different experimental temperature
and compared the simulated results with the reality experimental results
to determine the feasibility of the coupling model.
