Flow Characteristics of Conductive Silicon Melt Under Inherent Magnetic Field in Directional Solidification
Numerical simulation is used to study the influence of the heater-generated inherent magnetic field on the conductive silicon melt flow in the directional solidification(DS)of multi-crystalline silicon crystals. The magnitude and direction characteristics of the Lorentz force in the melt for different heating current connection modes are calculated
and then the pattern and intensity of the melt flow driven by the Lorentz force are studied. Results show that the induction intensity of the inherent magnetic field generated by the heater is about 10
-3
T
the induced current density is about 10
4
A/m
2
and the maximum Lorentz force is up to 12 N/m
3
. Large Lorentz force is mainly distributed i
n the upper and side regions of the melt and it can drive the melt flow to present strong three-dimensional characteristics. Adjusting the heating current connection mode can significantly influence the Lorentz force distribution and the melt flow. This research provides a reference for the deep understanding of the dual functions of the heater
i.e.
heating and magnetic field control
and for the realization of precise control of the melt flow during DS process.
