Abstract: The growth of a single needle of succinonitrile (SCN) is studied in three dimensional space by using a phase field model. For realistic physical parameters, namely, the large differences in the length scales, i.e., the capillarity length (10^{-8}cm - 10^{-6}cm), the radius of the curvature at the tip of the interface (10^{-3}cm - 10^{-2}cm) and the diffusion length (10^{-3}cm - 10^{-1}cm), resolution of the large differences in length scale necessitates a 500^{3} grid points on the supercomputer. The parameters, initial and boundary conditions used are identical to those of the microgravity experiments of Glicksman et al for SCN. The numerical results for the tip velocity are (i) largely consistent with the Space Shuttle experiments; (ii) compatible with the experimental conclusion that tip velocity does not increase with increased anisotropy; (iii) different for 2D versus 3D by a factor of approximately 1.9; (iv) essentially identical for fully versus rotationally symmetric 3D.
