The aim of the article is to deliver an information on the state of the art in the field of modelling of microstructure growth in a solidifying pure substance with a stress on the phase-field approach. We briefly summarize the physical background of the problem. The phase-field method is then explained and its variants are mentioned. Justification and theoretical results concerning the model equations are necessary for a quantitatively correct use of the model. We give some examples of qualitative computational studies and introduce the reader into quantitative comparison techniques used for verification of the model.
