The primary crystal growth in a binary melt is modeled on the base of the phase field method with approximate consideration of melt stirring. Changes in the second component (solute) concentration near a solidification area during stirring are considered as a main reason of modification of dendritic morphology of crystals. An effect of stirring is approximately simulated as forced changes in the solute concentration by either resetting to initial concentration, or averaging concentration. Dendritic morphology is shown to change to rosette and then to globular one depending on space parameters of forced changes.
Key words: phase transition, crystal grows, solidification microstructure, phase field model, melt, stirring
