Adaptive phase field modeling is applied to simulate directional solidification for silicon in three dimensions. Several functions are considered for the highly anisotropic interfacial energy and kinetic coefficient of silicon. The morphological evolution and the thermal field near the interface are presented and compared with experiments. The mechanisms for facet formation and grain competition are further discussed.
