Abstract
A simplified fluidmechanical interpretation of some silicon growth experiments performed aboard Spacelab-1 is given, using the capillary liquid bridge theory, which is discussed in depth. A model is developed to simulate the outer shape during the floating zone process performed, and ideas are given for a more complete thermal simulation. These models would help experimentalists in crystal growth and zone refining to predict unstable configurations, avoid bridge disruption and achieve the desired shape at every stage.
