Graph of Tip Velocity vs. Supercooling

Steady-state dendritc growth velocity versus supercooling. Dendritic growth velocities of succinonitrile observed in microgravity differ substantially from those measured under terrestrial conditions. The microgravity and terrestrial data sets converge at approximately 2.0 K supercooling. The data above 0.045 K supercooling can be fit to the combined Ivantsov-Scaling rule theories with a scaling constant of 0.0175.
