Abstract

We now turn to study global linear stability of the steady or “nearly” steady needle crystal solutions that were demonstrated in the last chapter and hereinafter defined as the basic states of the system. We shall first deal with the 3D axially symmetric dendrite with nonzero isotropic surface tension. The effect of anisotropy will be discussed in the next chapter. For global linear stability, one needs to investigate the evolution of infinitesimal perturbations around the basic state solutions.
