Phase-field modelling is one of the most powerful techniques currently available for the simulation from first principles the time-dependant evolution of complex solidification microstructures. However, unless care is taken the computational mesh used to solve the set of partial differential equations that result from the phase-field formulation of the solidification problem may introduce a stray, or implicit, anisotropy, which would be highly undesirable in quantitative calculations. In this paper, we quantify this effect as a function of various computational parameters and subsequently suggest techniques for mitigating the effect of this stray anisotropy.
