Chapter 17 Selection Criterion of Stable Mode of Dendritic Growth with n-Fold Symmetry at Arbitrary Peclet Numbers with a Forced Convection

摘要

A stable mode of anisotropic dendrite growing in a forced convective flow with n-fold crystalline symmetry is studied for low, moderate and rapid tip velocities (for arbitrary Peclet numbers). A generalized selection criterion determining a stable combination for the dendrite tip velocity and dendrite tip diameter is obtained.
