| 内容記述 | We studied the magnetic field effects on convective fluid flow in a differentially heated HgCdTe Bridgman growth system with linearly stratified vertical HgTe concentration. We followed J. E. Hart's system set-up, boundary conditions, and formulation. We obtained analytical steady parallel flow solutions for fluid flow's velocity and solutal concentration. These solutions depend only on solutal Rayleigh number. Our analytical solutions had different expressions from that of Hart's, but had similar numerical simulation results for the mean fluid velocity and solutal concentration gradient as a function of solutal Rayleigh number. We studied the effects of a transverse magnetic field on the fluid flow of the Bridgman growth systems both on the ground and in the space. The simulation results and comparison with experimental results will be presented. |
