Simulation studies of the hydrodynamics in high-temperature solutions for crystal growth. II. Free convection

Investigations have been carried out on the free convection in model liquids (glycerol, glycerol-water solutions, silicone oil and liquid paraffin). All possible heating conditions and temperature profiles for growing crystals from high-temperature solutions have been considered. Dependences between the rate of the up (down) convection flow and the parameters of the liquid have been established and the explicit form of these dependences has been found.
