Popis: Computational efficiencies and accuracies in various phase-field models were investigated: a phase-field model with the anti-trapping current method, a phase-field model with the reduced interface method and a standard phase-field model. Dependence of the mesh size on the growth velocity of a dendrite was examined. In the case of the low undercooling, the anti-trapping current method gave the most accurate result within 4% error reducing the calculation time by about 25% when the size of meshes was doubled. On the other hand, the reduced interface method gave the most accurate result within 5% error reducing the calculation time by about 25% with the doubled size of the meshes in the case of the high undercooling.
