Popis: Two commercial codes, FIDAP and MARC, have been used to model a number of crystal growth processes in collaboration with industrial and research teams. Examples of global and local simulations in the field of heat transfer, hydrodynamics, chemistry and mechanics are given and the results are compared to experimental measurements, with good agreement as a rule. This establishes that such codes can be used to help improve crystal growth processes, while full global transient models still belong to software specifically written in order to model crystal growth. Emphasis is put on the necessity to validate the numerical results by comparison with experiments and to have a clear understanding of the physical laws hidden behind the software.
