Abstract

This paper presents efficient numerical methods�the �inverse modeling� method and the adaptive finite element method�for optimizing the heat transport as well as for investigating the heat and mass transport under the influence of convection during crystal growth, especially near the liquid/solid interface. These methods have been applied to industrial Bridgman-furnaces for the growth of 65�75 mm diameter (Cd,Zn)Te crystals.
