Instability during directional solidification - Gravitational effectsAfter an elementary introduction to solidification, recent research that attempts to understand the interaction of fluid flow with a crystal-melt interface under gravitational influence using linear stability analysis is reviewed. Recent numerical calculations of fluid flow and interface morphology during alloy solidification are briefly discussed.
