Abstract

A transition from deterministic to chaotic growth behavior along the dendrite axis has been experimentally found and investigated. A “correlation structure” of a growing dendrite has been revealed in terms of relationship between oscillations of the dendrite tip velocity and the branching dynamics at different distances from the tip. It is shown that the dendritic growth of ice in supercooled water is an example of nonequilibrium morphogenesis of a dissipative system demonstrating deterministic chaos.
