In order to simulate 3D fluid flow, we use an averaging method for the flow problem coupled to the phase-field method and the semi-implicit approximated projection method SIAPM. We describe a parallel implementation for the algorithm, using the CHARM FEM framework, and demonstrate its efficiency. We introduce an improved method for extracting dendrite tip position and tip radius, facilitating accurate comparison to theory. We benchmark our results for 2D dendrite growth with solvability theory and previous results, finding them to be in good agreement. The physics of dendritic growth with fluid flow in three dimensions is very different from that in two dimensions, and we discuss the origin of this behavior.
