The paper deals with the numerical investigation of melt flows during multi-crystalline silicon growth by the directional solidification method. 2D global simulation of heat transfer was performed using finite volume technique. Thermal and fluid flow fields were investigated in the silicon melt. Also, impurities distribution such as oxygen, carbon mass fraction in the molten silicon are simulated. The diffusion process in the melt was taken into account in the computations. The obtained numerical results provide a basic understanding of the heat transfer characteristics during directional solidification of mc-silicon growth..

Active accounts were imported to the new platform and assigned a random password by default. In order to access your account you need to access the login page and go through the Lost Password dialog (involves the system sending you an email with instructions) in order to reset your password. This step is necessary as passwords are kept in hashed form and the new platform uses modern hashing algorithms incompatible with the previous ones.
