Graph of Tip Velocity vs. Supercooling
Steady-state dendritic growth velocity versus supercooling at higher
supercoolings. The theory line regressed to the microgravity data matches the
data from Glicksman, Schaefer and Ayers' experiments with succinonitrile up to a
supercooling of approximately 5.0 K, where, perhaps, attachment kinetics become
important.
