Abstract

We numerically solve the steady-state equation and the stability spectrum for solidification in a channel. For a large range of parameters stable symmetric and stable parity-broken solutions coexist. The branches of parity-broken solutions are found to originate from the symmetric solutions through standard bifurcations.
