Abstract

The interaction of a dilute suspension of spherical particles with a moving solidifying front is investigated analytically. The front emerges during the unidirectional solidification of a dilute binary alloy. A linear stability analysis of the planar interface reveals that the presence of the particles has a destabilizing effect, i.e. the critical value of the control parameter, taken here to be the concentration faraway from the interface, for the onset of the Mullins-Sekerka instability is lowered due to the particles' presence.
