The process of growing crystals from the melt is now a crucial technology for the electronics, opto-electronics and microelectronics industries. Crystal quality is significantly influenced by the melt flow and related heat and mass transfer, and it is therefore important to understand the elementary processes which play a significant role during their growth. This book demonstrates how advanced mathematical, physical and numerical modelling can be used to analyse these processes. Representing the collective work of experts from six countries, it includes recent major developments in both fundamentals and applications, and provides valuable information for both researchers and students working in this area.
