We use molecular dynamics to simulate the directional growth of binary mixtures. Our results compare very well with analytical and experimental results. This opens up the possibility to probe growth situations which are difficult to reach experimentally, being an important tool for further experimental and theoretical developments in the area of crystal growth.
