Phase field simulation of the effect from electrostatic field on frozen food ice crystal growth

Objective:In order to explore the effect of an external electrostatic field on the growth of ice crystals during food freezing.Methods:Based on the classic Kobayashi model of phase field method, the free energy density of electric field was introduced into the phase field model. Used the five-point difference scheme in the finite difference method to discretize the partial differential equation, the simulation and visualization of ice crystal growth were realized by programming.Results:The results showed that the simulation results were consistent with other simulation results and experimental results, and the ice crystal morphology had a typical sixfold symmetry; With the increase of electric field intensity, the growth rate of main branches and nucleation growth of ice crystals were inhibited.Conclusion:In the process of quick-frozen food preservation, adding a certain electric field strength will reduce the formation of ice crystals, and retain the quality and flavor of food as much as possible.
