By combining molecular dynamics (MD) simulations with phase-field (PF) and phase-field crystal (PFC) modeling we study collision-controlled growth kinetics from the melt for pure Fe. The MD/PF comparison shows, on the one hand, that the PF model can be properly designed to reproduce quantitatively different aspects of the growth kinetics and anisotropy of planar and curved solid-liquid interfaces. On the other hand, this comparison demonstrates the ability of classical MD simulations to predict morphology and dynamics of moving curved interfaces up to a length scale of about 0.15 mu m. After mapping the MD model to the PF one, the latter permits to analyze the separate contribution of different anisotropies to the interface morphology. The MD/PFC agreement regarding the growth anisotropy and morphology extends the trend already observed for the here used PFC model in describing structural and elastic properties of bcc Fe.
