This article will demonstrate the existence of a deterministic mechanism for dendritic solidification kinetics, especially the generation and development of side branches. The focus is on the influence of an anisotropic kinetic boundary condition on the formation of dendritic side branches. Accurate boundary integrals were developed to simulate two- and three-dimensional solidification. Numerical results reveal that both anisotropic capillarity and anisotropic interfacial attachment kinetics ...
