N2 - Three-dimensional (3D) unsteady mixed thermal buoyancy, Marangoni and forced convection of LiCaAlF6 (LiCAF) melts (Prandtl number Pr ≈ 1.4) are investigated numerically for model set up typically for Czochralski crystal growth. With increasing crystal rotation rate, convection evolves from steady axisymmetric to three-dimensional oscillatory convection with varying spatio-temporal features. The details of the oscillatory convection structures are presented.
