Abstract
So far we have only considered the case of isotropic surface tension. The anisotropy of surface tension was neglected. In the study of dendrite growth, the role and significance of the anisotropy of surface tension has been an issue of great importance. Experimental observations show that the effect of the anisotropy of surface tension on the morphology of the dendrite interface is certainly significant. However, its role in the stability of dendrite growth and selection of the tip velocity still remains unclear.
