Abstract
A simple model for dendritic and Widmanstätten plate growth is considered. This model is applied to an array of plates and a relation obtained between the speed, tip radius of curvature, and spacing of the plates. An expression is found for the ratio of the flux at the tip of one of an array of plates to that at the tip of an isolated plate. This expression is tabulated as a function of bV/2D, where b is the spacing, V the velocity of the plates, and D the diffusion coefficient in the matrix.
