Abstract

The processes of silicon crystallization in flat-bottomed cylindrical graphite crucibles in the modes of conjugate convective heat transfer with allowance for latent heat are numerically investigated. The influence of hydrodynamics and heat transfer on the local shape of the crystal-melt interface has been studied. The hydrodynamics of a silicon melt is investigated in the modes of thermogravitational and thermal gravitational-centrifugal convection. First, the effect of the velocity of lowering the crucible into the cold zone was studied. Then, at the set crucible lowering velocity, the influence of the crucible angular velocity was studied. The problems were solved in a nonstationary formulation by the finite element method.
