(a) Dimensionless dependence of the interface speed \(\partial R/\partial t\) on the particle radius R under various surface energy values, plotted by the asymptotic solution (18). (b) Dimensionless temperature distributions in the solid and liquid phases near the interface (black dotted lines) corresponding to the value of surface energy in (a), plotted by the asymptotic solution (17). The temperatures of the solid and liquid phases are located on the left and right sides of the interface (vertical dashed lines), respectively. The arrows represent the heat flux directions.
