Abstract
Abstract The understanding of columnar or directional dendrite growth is essential if solidification microstructures are to be modelled. Simple models of such microstructures, as far as they describe the behaviour of real systems with sufficient accuracy, are helpful, especially if they are used as part of macroscopic heat flux calculations [M. Wolf, T.W. Clyne and W. Kurz, Arch. Eisenhuttenw. 53 (1992) 91]. Two existing models for describing columnar dendrite growth using a stability criterion will be discussed. Both follow a qualitatively similar approach but are different in their degree of complexity.
