Solidification is today a key industrial processing technology for applications ranging from the continuous casting of primary metals to the sophisticated crystal growth of optical and electronic materials, and new variations of the solidification processing like melt spinning are continually being devised to produce materials with novel properties and applications. A recent forum for the discussion of solidification research was the Symposium on Fluid Flow at SolidLiquid Interfaces, held under the auspices of the TMS-AIME Solidification Committee during the Metallurgical Society's Fall Meeting, Philadelphia, PA, October 1983. The symposium papers presented here demonstrate how the modeling and simulation of solidification in relatively simple systems can provide penetrating insights into the ways fluid flow and transport influence the morphology and properties of materials produced by melt growth. Collectively the papers illustrate newly-developed experimental and computational methods to understand better, and ultimately control, solidification under a variety of realistic conditions. These papers are focused on one or more of the commonly encountered flow-modified behaviors: interface deformation, interface breakdown, temporal and spatial variations in heat and mass transport, and field modified flows (e.g., centrifugal and magnetic). This collection should be useful to readers concerned with practical solidification processes in which melt flows are important. Richard H.
