Modeling the Formation and Dynamics of Polycrystals in 3D

Abstract
Phase field models of solidification have been extended to include grain boundaries, using a variety of techniques. A model developed by Kobayashi et. al cite} has been used to model a host of physical phenomena, but has so far been confined to two dimensions. In this letter we describe how to extend this model of polycrystalline solidification to three dimensions (3D).
