A surface molecular-dynamics method is described and employed to investigate the epitaxial crystallization of a supercooled melt. The procedure allows for thermal dissipation via a dynamic bulk reservoir, thus enabling the study of the approach to equilibrium. The early stages of the crystallization involve layering in the fluid, followed by intralayer ordering. The system evolution is described via layer profiles of particle number, temperature, potential energy, and orientational- and translational-order parameter versus time.
