Solidification of colloidal suspensions

We present a mathematical model of the unidirectional solidification of a suspension of hard-sphere colloids. Similarity solutions are obtained for the volume fraction and temperature profiles ahead of a planar solidification front. The highly nonlinear functional dependence of the diffusion coeffic...
