| The self-similar crystallization process of a binary mixture from a cooled boundary is studied on the basis of two models with a planar front and mushy layer. Approximate analytical solutions of the process describing the solidification with a mushy layer are found. The theory under consideration is in good agreement with experiments carried out by Huppert and Worster for ice growing from aqueous salt solutions. |
