Description
Summary:The influence of various types of vibration on the morphological instability of the directional crystallization front in binary melts is investigated numerically under microgravity and terrestrial conditions. The vibration frequency is assumed to be high and the amplitude to be small and an averaged approach is used. It is shown that high-frequency rotational vibration generates an intense mean flow localized in the neighborhood of the crystallization front and the direction of this flow is opposite to the direction of gravity-convection flow. Under terrestrial conditions the interaction between vibration flow and gravity convection leads to the gravitational vortex being pushed away from the crystallization front. Under both terrestrial and microgravity conditions rotational vibration has a strong stabilizing action on the morphological instability and prevents the formation of an axial hollow.
