Pattern formation in crystal growth under parabolic shear flow II
  Wavy pattern of ice with a specific wavelength occurs during ice growth from a thin layer of undercooled water flowing down the surface of icicles or inclined plane. In the preceding paper [K. Ueno, Phys. Rev. E {\bf 68}, 021603 (2003)], we have found that restoring forces due to gravity and surface tension is a factor for stabilization of morphological instability of the solid-liquid interface. However, the mechanism for the morphological instability and stability of the solid-liquid interface has not been well understood. In the present paper, it is shown that a phase difference between fluctuation of the solid-liquid interface and distribution of heat flux at the deformed solid-liquid interface, which depends on the magnitude of the restoring forces, is a cause of the instability and stability of the interface. This mechanism is completely different from the usual Mullins-Sekerka instability due to diffusion and stabilization due to the Gibbs-Thomson effect.
