Abstract
The numerical method SOLA-VOF has been applied ta the calculation of c onvection during the ACRT process. The Ekman Row is tracked with marke d particles. The movement of the fluid adjacent to the crucible base i nduced by Ekman flow is shown clearly. The effects of crucible acceler ation, maximum rotation rate and crucible diameter on the Ekman flow w as studied. The numerical results are compared with those from simulat ion experiments.
