This paper reports continuing work on application of discrete-operator interpolation (DOI) in solving the one-dimensional phase-field model applied to melt-front tracking. DOI is a numerical technique for computing function values not computed at the original grid points of a finite-difference (or finite element) scheme so as to satisfy the discrete governing equations at the new points. The previous study showed that the DOI technique works quite well for the phase-field model problem. The shortcoming of earlier work was global (in space) application of DOI. Due to the fact that at any instant in time, the melt-front of the phase-field model exists within only a small region of space, it is more efficient to employ a local DOI technique. Local DOI interpolates the numerical solutions only in the melt-front region while a standard numerical method is applied in other regions. In this paper, we describe the phase-field model together with the details of the local DOI method and their numerical implementations. The results of the phase-field model are obtained using a Crank-Nicolson finite-difference scheme. The local DOI results are compared with direct numerical simulation results obtained on a very fine grid to demonstrate the advantages of this method.

AbstractA three-dimensional phase-field model is developed to simulate grain evolutions during powder-bed-fusion (PBF) additive manufacturing, while the physically-informed temperature profile is implemented from a thermal-fluid flow model. The phase-field model incorporates a nucleation model based on classical nucleation theory, as well as the initial grain structures of powder particles and substrate. The grain evolutions during the three-layer three-track PBF process are comprehensively reproduced, including grain nucleation and growth in molten pools, epitaxial growth from powder particles, substrate and previous tracks, grain re-melting and re-growth in overlapping zones, and grain coarsening in heat-affected zones. A validation experiment has been carried out, showing that the simulation results are consistent with the experimental results in the molten pool and grain morphologies. Furthermore, the grain refinement by adding nanoparticles is preliminarily reproduced and compared against the experimental result in literature.
