Abstract

The article presents the results of a numerical simulation study that was carried out to examine the effect of g-jitter on the flow and concentration structures observed in the solution of a growth crucible under microgravity conditions. The simulation model considers a simple crucible of electroepitaxy, and assumes crucible rotation and applied axial static magnetic fields to control and minimize the effect of g-jitter induced flow oscillations.
