Abstract The study deals with three-dimensional numerical simulations of fluid flow and heat transfer under the effect of a rotating magnetic field (RMF) during the growth of Ge0.98Si0.02 by the traveling solvent method (TSM). By using a RMF, an attempt is made to suppress buoyancy convection in the Ge0.98Si0.02 solution zone in order to get high quality and homogeneity with a flat growth interface. The full steady-state Navier-Stokes equations, as well as the energy, mass transport and continuity equations, are solved numerically using the finite element method. Different magnetic field intensities (B=2, 4, 10, 15 and 22 mT) for different rotational… More >
