Abstract
This review is concerned with the nonstationary solidification of three-component systems in the presence of two moving phase transition regions-the main (primary) and cotectic layers. A non-linear moving boundary problem has been developed and its analytical solutions have been defined. Namely, the temperature and impurity concentration distributions were determined, the solid phase fractions in the phase transition regions and the laws of motion of their boundaries were found. It was shown that variations in the initial impurity concentration affect significantly the ratio between the lengths of the two-phase layers. A non-linear liquidus surface equation is theoretically taken into account as well.

Nucleation and Growth of an Ensemble of Crystals during the Intermediate Stage of a Phase Transition in Metastable Liquids. CRYSTALS 2022.

Abstract
In this paper, an analytical method of solving the integro-differential system of kinetic and balance equations describing the evolution of an ensemble of crystals during the intermediate phase of the bulk crystallization process is described. The theory is developed for kinetic equations of the first- and second order corresponding to the absence and presence of fluctuations in particle growth rates. The crystal-size distribution function as well as the dynamics of metastability reduction in a supercooled melt (supersaturated solution) are analytically found using the saddle-point and the Laplace transform methods. The theory enables us to obtain the crystal-size distribution function that establishes in a supercooled (supersaturated) liquid at the beginning of the final stage of a phase transformation process when Ostwald ripening, coagulation and fragmentation of crystals are able to occur.

Abstract
This review article summarizes the main outcomes following from recently developed theories of stable dendritic growth in undercooled one-component and binary melts. The nonlinear heat and mass transfer mechanisms that control the crystal growth process are connected with hydrodynamic flows (forced and natural convection), as well as with the non-local diffusion transport of dissolved impurities in the undercooled liquid phase. The main conclusions following from stability analysis, solvability and selection theories are presented. The sharp interface model and stability criteria for various crystallization conditions and crystalline symmetries met in actual practice are formulated and discussed. The review is also focused on the determination of the main process parameters-the tip velocity and diameter of dendritic crystals as functions of the melt undercooling, which define the structural states and transitions in materials science (e.g. monocrystalline-polycrystalline structures). Selection criteria of stable dendritic growth mode for conductive and convective heat and mass fluxes at the crystal surface are stitched together into a single criterion valid for an arbitrary undercooling. This article is part of the theme issue 'Transport phenomena in complex systems (part 1)'.

Abstract
A mathematical model of the evaporation of a polydisperse ensemble of drops, with allowance for a nonlinear 'diffusion' term in the kinetic equation for the population density distribution function, is developed. The model describes the interaction of a gas phase with vaporizing drops: it has great potential for application in condensed matter physics, thermophysics and engineering devices (e.g. spray drying, cooling, power engineering). The kinetics of heat transfer between phases is theoretically studied. An analytical solution to the integro-differential equations of the process of droplet evaporation is found in a parametric form. Analytical solutions in the presence and absence of the 'diffusion' term are compared. It is shown that the fluctuations in particle evaporation rates ('diffusion' term in the Fokker-Planck equation) play a decisive role in the evolutionary behaviour of a polydisperse ensemble of vaporizing liquid drops. This article is part of the theme issue 'Transport phenomena in complex systems (part 1)'.

Abstract
This manuscript is concerned with the theory of nucleation and evolution of a polydisperse ensemble of crystals in metastable liquids during the intermediate stage of a phase transformation process. A generalized growth rate of individual crystals is obtained with allowance for the effects of their non-stationary evolution in unsteady temperature (solute concentration) field and the phase transition temperature shift appearing due to the particle curvature (the Gibbs-Thomson effect) and atomic kinetics. A complete system of balance and kinetic equations determining the transient behaviour of the metastability degree and the particle-radius distribution function is analytically solved in a parametric form. The coefficient of mutual Brownian diffusion in the Fokker-Planck equation is considered in a generalized form defined by an Einstein relation. It is shown that the effects under consideration substantially change the desupercooling/desupersaturation dynamics and the transient behaviour of the particle-size distribution function. The asymptotic state of the distribution function (its 'tail'), which determines the relaxation dynamics of the concluding (Ostwald ripening) stage of a phase transformation process, is derived. This article is part of the theme issue 'Transport phenomena in complex systems (part 1)'.

Abstract
When describing the growth of crystal ensembles from metastable solutions or melts, a significant deviation from a spherical shape is often observed. Experimental data show that the shape of growing crystals can often be considered ellipsoidal. The new theoretical models describing the transient nucleation of ellipsoidal particles and their growth with and without fluctuating rates at the intermediate stage of bulk phase transitions in metastable systems are considered. The nonlinear transport (diffusivity) of ellipsoidal crystals in the space of their volumes is taken into account in the Fokker-Planck equation allowing for fluctuating growth rates. The complete analytical solutions of integro-differential models of kinetic and balance equations are found and analysed. Our solutions show that the desupercooling dynamics is several times faster for ellipsoidal crystals as compared to spherical particles. In addition, the crystal-volume distribution function is lower and shifted to larger particle volumes when considering the growth of ellipsoidal crystals. What is more, this function is monotonically increasing to the maximum crystal size in the absence of fluctuations and is a bell-shaped curve when such fluctuations are taken into account. This article is part of the theme issue 'Transport phenomena in complex systems (part 1)'.

Abstract
The issue, in two parts, is devoted to theoretical, computational and experimental studies of transport phenomena in various complex systems (in porous and composite media; systems with physical and chemical reactions and phase and structural transformations; in biological tissues and materials). Various types of these phenomena (heat and mass transfer; hydrodynamic and rheological effects; electromagnetic field propagation) are considered. Anomalous, relaxation and nonlinear transport, as well as transport induced by the impact of external fields and noise, is the focus of this issue. Modern methods of computational modelling, statistical physics and hydrodynamics, nonlinear dynamics and experimental methods are presented and discussed. Special attention is paid to transport phenomena in biological systems (such as haemodynamics in stenosed and thrombosed blood vessels magneto-induced heat generation and propagation in biological tissues, and anomalous transport in living cells) and to the development of a scientific background for progressive methods in cancer, heart attack and insult therapy (magnetic hyperthermia for cancer therapy, magnetically induced circulation flow in thrombosed blood vessels and non-contact determination of the local rate of blood flow in coronary arteries). The present issue includes works on the phenomenological study of transport processes, the derivation of a macroscopic governing equation on the basis of the analysis of a complicated internal reaction and the microscopic determination of macroscopic characteristics of the studied systems. This article is part of the theme issue 'Transport phenomena in complex systems (part 1)'.
