Stability of plane-front and dendritic solidification of binary liquids: The effects of rotation

Convective and morphological instabilities in horizontally unbounded binary liquids solidified by cooling from below are studied by linear stability analysis. Use of uniform rotation about the vertical to suppress onset of buoyancy-driven convection is considered for plane-front solidification (PFS) and dendritic solidification (DeS).
