Coupled Hydrodynamic/
Morphological
Instabilities
Flow in the melt modifies the thermal and
solutal gradients at the
crystal-melt interface that determine the
morphological
stability of the interface.
The shape of the crystal-melt interface
modifies the fluid flow near
the interface and affects the hydrodynamic stability of the melt.
