Popis: To understand the effects of crucible/crystal rotation on the instability of thermocapillary flow in a shallow Czochralski configuration, a series of linear stability analysis were performed by using Legendre spectral element method, and the energy analysis was applied to explore the instability mechanism. The results indicate that there are two types of instabilities with the increase of dimensionless crucible rotation rate ωc. Thermocapillary force and crucible rotation are the main causes of flow instability for low and high crucible rotation rate, respectively. In the interval 1627 3600), and the thermocapillary force is the primary inducement of flow instability.
