Abstract

The morphological stability of a rotating and solidifying disc is investigated under the assumption that δ, the thickness of the viscous boundary layer, is much larger than δ_c, the thickness of the solute boundary layer. We find that axisymmetric disturbances with wavelengths comparable to δ respond to non-parallel flow effects and have stability characteristics quite different from disturbances in a parallel flow. These long waves are unstable because of the non-parallel flow and would decay without it. This analysis thus identifies a new mechanism of morphological change induced by flow.
