Abstract
The behavior of a solid-liquid interface and temperature distribution in the supercooled melt during solidification were observed. Salol, an organic material, was solidified in a temperature gradient environment, where the process was controlled by both kinetics and diffusion. The thickness of the temperature-reversed layer in front of the interface was measured by interferometry with the moire technique. It was found that as the interface advanced, the macroscopic roughness of the interface increased markedly in the flight experiment on a sounding rocket. Heat transfer during solidification was numerically calculated and was compared with experimental data.
