Abstract

In the present work, a thermocapillary model has been developed to simulate the dynamic characteristics of the EFG process, subject to the pull speed perturbations. The model, which is axisymmetric and appropriately scaled, solves the energy equations in both solid and melt regions separately, and tracks the movement and evolution of the interface explicitly using a combined Lagrangian/Eulerian method. In has been predicted, and observed experimentally, that the fiber diameter responds to the pull speed perturbation at the corresponding frequency, but the sensitivity of the response decay as the frequency increases. Furthermore, it has also been established that both the static and dynamic models at trijunction points cause the crystal to vary in sizes in response to the external fluctuations.
