Abstract

The visualization of complex physical processes is becoming a challenging topic in fields of information visualization, and attracting more and more researchers. Microstructure evolution visualization (MEV) has become an important and unsubstitutable method in the modern material processing engineering domains. A novel MEV approach combining the neutrosophic set theory (NS) and the cellular automaton technique (CA) is developed in order to precisely simulate the invisible, complex and unrepeatable physical process of metal solidification. The NS theory is applied to realize the complex evolution rules among three phases including solid phase, liquid phase and interface phase, while the CA method is used to simulate the dynamic process of dendrite growth. Experiment results of the dendrite growing simulation show strange consistency of the virtual invisible microstructure with that in practical industrial trials and production. Material experts also convince the statistical characteristics of the simulation results and further the inspirational value for the visualization of other complex physical processes.
