| Abstract | We use finite element software based on the stabilized Galerkin Least Square method to solve the Navier Stokes equations with the Boussinesq approximation coupled to an energy equation through the temperature. We study melt flows associated with a Czochralski crystal growth process with the goal of understanding the transition from a steady laminar regime to an unsteady one as the Grashof number increases. |
