Abstract
The effect of spatially homogeneous time-periodic external forcing on dendr itic solidification has been studied by phase-field modeling and experiment s on liquid crystal. It is shown that the frequency of dendritic sidebranch ing can be tuned by oscillating pressure or heating. The main parameters th at influence this phenomenon are identified.
