Dendritic growth from a melt in an external flow: uniformly valid asymptotic solution for the steady state

Abstract

This work is part of an investigation dealing with the effect of external flow in a melt on dendritic growth. In this paper, we will consider steady growth with zero surface tension. Assuming that the Prandtl number Pr is large, we are able to obtain a uniformly valid asymptotic solution for the steady state in the whole growth region.
