Abstract
A diffuse-interface model of two-phase solidification that quantitatively reproduces the classic free boundary problem on solid-liquid interfaces in the thin-interface limit is discussed. Convergence tests and comparisons with boundary integral simulations of the eutectic growth demonstrate good accuracy for steady-state lamellae. It is observed that the results for limit cycles depend on the interface thickness through the trijunction behavior.
