- International collaboration involving universities in China, Russia and Germany to unravel the reasons for the apparent change in crystal growth velocity of undercooled melts, under the action of magnetic field observed on the ISS. Simulations using our software developed in EPSRC TECalloy (EP/K011413/1) coupled with analytic work from the German/Russian team and experiments in China, formulated a new theory, incorporating the effects of thermoelectric convection. The work has relevance where solidification of undercooled melts takes place, as in gas atomization for metal powders, or in levitation experiments in microgravity. Initially funded through a Royal Society grant, collaboration continues to date.
