Experiments and theoretical analysis will be carried out to study the           fluid mechanics and stability of the planar-flow melt-spinning process,         a technique with promise for widespread commercial use in the rapid             solidification of molten metals.  Data will be obtained steady-state            flows and their dependence on process operating parameters for ranges of        practical interest; this will enable accurate prediction of macroscopic         ribbon geometry.  The stability of the steady flows will be tested              against disturbances in flow-field and meniscus; this will enable               prediction and control of ribbon surface-quality.  Experiments will test        predictions of the theory and guide the analyses.
