Abstract

The momentum, heat and mass transport in the melt of several sizes of crucibles are calculated using a three dimensional numerical simulation technique with and without the k-$\varepsilon$ turbulent model. When turbulent model is not used, non-axisymmetric profiles of velocity, temperature and oxygen concentration appear in the melt of all sizes of crucibles. Axisymmetric profiles are obtained when the k-$\varepsilon$ model is adopted.
