description

The set of characteristic parameters which describe modern large industrial CZ silicon single crystal growth systems is introduced. The main melt flow driving mechanisms are considered, and the characteristic density values of various in the melt acting forces are estimated. The analysis is illustrated with examples of numerical simulation and comparisons with experiments.
