Computer Modelling of Bulk Crystal Growth

“…metals and most semiconductors), growth vessels made of high-conductivity materials, large thermal mass of furnace components, or any circumstances under which convection is weak, for example in microgravity or under magnetic suppression. Under these circumstances it is reasonable to use an axisymmetric furnace modelled coupled to a three-dimensional model of transport phenomena within the growth vessel [44,45]. An approach that has become popular in recent years is to compute a global two-dimensional solution, the results of which are used to construct suitable thermal boundary conditions for solving a three-dimensional transport model within the growth vessel [25,[46][47][48][49].…”
