  • We present a novel, semi-analytical framework which accurately predicts every stage of droplet freezing. 
  • Supercooling degree of the freezing droplet is computed by coupling the 1-D transient heat conduction equation in spherical coordinates with a modified heterogeneous nucleation model. 
  • A novel dendritic growth model for crystal propagation is developed, which takes into account the effects of non-linear interface kinetics and surface curvature. 
  • The analytical framework developed is a reduced-order freezing model that is fast to compute and yields accurate results. 
  • The framework presented can be useful as a subgrid model for high-fidelity crystal growth and spray freezing simulations.
