Abstract:	Computer simulation is conducted to study three-dimensional (3D) thermocapillary and buoyancy convections and their effects on the growth interface for horizontal Bridgman crystal growth. The free-boundary model is based on a finite volume approximation of continuity, momentum, and energy equations on a collocated grid. Crystal growth of GaAs is used as an example. From calculated results, it is observed that the effect of buoyancy convection on the growth interface is significant. With the thermocapillary effect, the 3D flow structures are not changed much, but its effect on the growth interface is not trivial. Due to the convections, the growth interface is always concave, and its deflection is affected significantly by the growth rate and thermal environment. A simple strategy of interface control is illustrated. Furthermore, slight crucible tilting can also affect the 3D flows leading to an asymmetric growth interface.
