In order to investigate conditions to grow semiconductor crystals with a convex solid-liquid interface under microgravity, numerical calculation is carried out. In this study, the Boundary Fitted Coordinate (BFC) method is used. The thermal conduction equation in the cylindrical coordinates is used as the governing equation. To get the better numerical stability, several transformation techniques are considered. To evaluate the reliability of numerical results, the calculation results are compared with the experimental results.
