Education:

Doctor of Philosophy  (Mechanical Engineering)       January 2005 Indian Institute of Technology
Kanpur, India.

 Ph. D. Thesis:  “Czochralski Growth of Oxide Crystals: Numerical Simulation and  Experiments”

Thesis supervisor: Dr. K. Muralidhar

The problem involves modeling of fluid flow and heat transfer in a domain consisting of solid, liquid and gas phases separated by

their respective phase boundaries. Since the interfaces separating the different phases are influenced by the flow and thermal

field in the adjacent phases, the interface specific equations needed to be solved simultaneously and iteratively along with

the conservation equations in all phases. The interface in the present formulation is tracked as an    (n-1) dimensional entity in

an n-dimensional Euclidian space. Thus the interfaces are surfaces of sharp discontinuity and are followed by assigning a

fixed grid line to them. Grids are regenerated with every new location of the interface using numerically determined coordinate

transformation. The conservation equations for all three phases are jointly represented with the understanding that velocity

is zero in the solid phase. The computations are done in an axi-symmetric configuration. The flow in the liquid phase

involved the effects of Buoyancy, Marangoni and rotation. An equation for conservation of angular momentum is solved

to take care of rotation. A bulk radiation module is incorporated to account for internal emission, absorption and scattering

in the melt as well as the crystal phase. This called for solution of Radiative Transfer Equation (RTE) simultaneously with

the conservation of energy. RTE is solved using Discrete Ordinates method.

            Liquid Crystal thermography (LCT) tracers are used to visualize the temperature field in a low Temperature

Czochralski setup prepared in the laboratory. The images captured by a high resolution CCD camera are suitably calibrated

via Hue to obtain the thermal field in the natural, mixed and forced convection regime. The numerical results are validated

with these processed images.
