“…Similar relationships between the aspect ratio of the liquid bridge and wavenumbers for high-Prandtl numbers also been observed experimentally (see, for instance, in [14]). A parametric analysis of the influence of the aspect ratio of the full zone can also be found in the literature [15,16]. The assumption of the full zone model is the only way to capture in detail the mechanism of the instability of Marangoni flow generating in the real floating zone is one of the advantages of full zone model.…”

The effect of solutal Marangoni convection on flow instabilities in the presence of thermal Marangoni convection in a Si-Ge liquid bridge with different aspect ratios As has been investigated by three-dimensional (3D) numerical simulations under zero gravity. We consider a half-zone model of a liquid bridge between a cold (top plane) and a hot (bottom plane) disks. The highest Si concentration is on the top of the liquid bridge. The aspect ratio (As) drastically affects the critical Marangoni numbers: the critical solutal Marangoni number (under small thermal Marangoni numbers (MaTAs≲1800)) has the same dependence on As as the critical thermal Marangoni number (under small solutal Marangoni numbers (400≲MaCAs≲800)), i.e., it decreases with increasing As. The azimuthal wavenumber of the traveling wave mode increases as decreasing As, i.e., larger azimuthal wavenumbers (m=6,7,11,12, and 13) appear for As=0.25, and only m=2 appears when As is one and larger. The oscillatory modes of the hydro waves have been extracted as the spatiotemporal structures by using dynamic mode decomposition (DMD). The present study suggests a proper parameter region of quiescent steady flow suitable for crystal growth for smaller aspect ratios of the liquid bridge.
