Abstract

A mathematical model for determining the hydrodynamics of a melt and impurity concentration in the process of growing of a packet of sapphire strips by the Stepanov group method with beveled surfaces of shapers is considered. The description of the model contains: the Stefan problem, Navier-Stokes equation, diffusion equation, and Laplace capillary equation. The problems posed were solved numerically by the method of finite elements.
