Abstract
Pattern formation in free dendritic growth and in directional solidification is studied by numerical simulation of standard two-dimensional models. For free dendrites we confirm various scaling laws on growth rate and side branching, in agreement also with experiments on three-dimensional dendrites. For directional solidification we scan parts of the parameter space and discuss the transition from cells to dendrites, thereby confirming the approach to scaling forms in several limits.
