Abstract

The numerical method SOLA-VOF has been applied to the calculation of convection during the ACRT process. The Ekman flow is tracked with marked particles. The movement of the fluid adjacent to the crucible base induced by Ekman flow is shown clearly. The effects of crucible acceleration, maximum rotation rate and crucible diameter on the Ekman flow was studied. The numerical results are compared with those from siumlation experiments.
