Flow of High Prandtl Number Fluid under Varying Axial Magnetic Field

Article Preview

Abstract:

From engineering actual conditions of single crystal grown by floating zone method, Navier-Stokes equations coupled with the energy conservation equation were solved on a staggered grid based on the half floating area physical model. The two-phase surface was captured by using the mass conserving level set method. The internal flow structure of flow field of high Pr number liquid bridge was studied under uniform magnetic field environment in microgravity, which is important to optimize the process of the crystal growth.
