Abstract

Oxygen transport in the silicon melt in the double-crucible method was simulated by using the k-ε{lunate} turbulent flow model. The high eddy diffusivity of oxygen calculated from the eddy dynamic viscosity is postulated in the present model. In the mechanisms found in the simulation, the small distance between the hot inner crucible and the melt/crystal interface was the most dominant reason for the increase of the oxygen concentration in the case of the double-crucible method.
