Abstract
As it is well known, solute transport during solidification and crystal growth is very easily affected by convection1. Thus numerous classes of phenomena may appear depending on the type of couplings occurring between the different involved physical quantities, namely: the temperature field, the concentration field, the interface location and morphology, and the flow field. Moreover, for each class of phenomena, a wide variety of boundary conditions may prevail depending on the particular solidification method under consideration (Czochralski or Bridgman crystal growth, zone melting, casting, welding, surface melting …).
