The Melt–Crystal Interface in the Production of Monocrystalline Sapphire via Heat Exchanger Method—Numerical Simulation Aspects

In this work, selected numerical simulation aspects are analyzed in terms of their effect on predictions of the m-c interface. The fixed-grid enthalpy porosity phase change model, which is highly attractive in the field of modeling sapphire crystallization processes, is examined for its sensitivity...
