New advance in microstructure numerical simulation of solidification microstructure

Abstract：New developments of numerical simulation in solidification microstructures, which are Deterministic Modeling and Stochastic Modeling are introduced in details.The advantages and shortages of the models available are analyzed.The future trends of development such as multi-scale calculation, three dimension simulation and determination of nucleation with experiment techniques are proposed.
