Simulation of crystal growth in solution by hybrid modeling

A crystal growth model based on hybrid modeling is introduced to examine th e experimental conditions of the crystal growth process in solution. This h ybrid model is a simulation method across physical length and time scales c haracteristic of atomistic, microstructural, and continuum models. We simul ate the behavior of the liquid during the solidification process by hydrody namics and the atomistic behavior of the surface of the initial crystal by s ballistic model. Several growth morphologies are obtained and the relatio nship between macroscopic and microscopic morphologies during solution grow th is examined.
