Computer simulation of liquid encapsulated vertical bridgman crystal growth: pseudo steady‐state calculations

C.W. Lan, C.C. Ting

A pseudo steady‐state model is developed to study heat transfer, fluidflow, and the interface shape in the liquid encapsulated vertical Bridgmancrystal growth. The model, which is…

Three‐dimensional simulation of thermals using a split‐operator scheme

C.W. Li, F. Zhang

A three‐dimensional numerical model is developed to study the motion andmixing process induced by thermals. The model utilizes a split‐operatorapproach for the solution of the…

On adaptive time stepping approaches for thermal solidification processes

Tianhong Ouyang, Kumar K. Tamma

Thermal solidification processes are an important concern in today’smanufacturing technology. Because of the complex geometric nature ofreal‐world problems, analytical techniques…
