An Experimental Assessment of Continuum Models of Dendritic Growth

  • Chapter
Growth and Form

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSB,volume 276))

Abstract

Experimental evidence pertinent to theories of needle crystals (dendrites) based on continuum models is reviewed and assessed critically. Some predictions, such as the dependence of the growth state on crystalline anisotropy, have not been convincingly demonstrated, and the models may not be appropriate in all cases, for example when kinetic effects are important. On the other hand, the continuum models provide an internally consistent explanation for many of the observations, including some related to sidebranching.
