Three-Dimensional, Time-Dependent Spectral Element Simulations of a Thermocapillary Liquid Bridge with Magnetic Stabilization

The spectral element method is used to obtain 3D, time-dependent solutions for a thermocapillary driven liquid bridge with magnetic stabilization, which arises from the float-zone crystal growth process. The methods and implementation of the general, in-house developed fluid flow and heat transfer s...
