    Abstract We introduce a non-isothermal phase-field crystal model including heat flux and thermal expansion of the crystal lattice. The fundamental thermodynamic relation between internal energy and entropy, as well as entropy production, is derived analytically and further verified by numerical benchmark simulations. Furthermore, we examine how the different model parameters control density and temperature evolution during dendritic solidification through extensive parameter studies. Finally, we extend our framework to the modeling of open systems considering external mass and heat fluxes. This work sets the ground for a comprehensive mesoscale model of non-isothermal solidification including thermal expansion within an entropy-producing framework, and provides a benchmark for further meso- to macroscopic modeling of solidification.

    Abstract We optimize a numerical time‐stabilization routine for a class of phase‐field crystal (PFC) models of solidification. By numerical experiments, we demonstrate that our simple approach can improve the accuracy of underlying time integration schemes by a few orders of magnitude. We investigate different time integration schemes. Moreover, as a prototypical example for applications, we extend our numerical approach to a PFC model of solidification with an explicit temperature coupling.

    Abstract We present a phase-field crystal model for solidification that accounts for thermal transport and a temperature-dependent lattice parameter. Elasticity effects are characterized through the continuous elastic field computed from the microscopic density field. We showcase the model capabilities via selected numerical investigations which focus on the prototypical growth of two-dimensional crystals from the melt, resulting in faceted shapes and dendrites. This work sets the grounds for a comprehensive mesoscale model of solidification including thermal expansion.
