    Abstract A few issues in materials science are reviewed with regard to the importance of fluid flows. The effect of convection on generic solidification problems is discussed. One relevant class of flows in melts is those driven by surface tension gradients. In welding this thermo- or solutocapillary flow will determine the penetration depth, and will depend very sensitively on the composition of the material, through the dependence of surface tension on temperature, presence of surfactants, etc. In crystal growth the convective motion in the melt may cause instabilities that are often undesired in practical processes.
