The acceleration amplitude is constant, its direction rotates in horizontal plane with a frequency f . In case of semiconductors the temperature field remains almost unperturbed due to the low Prandtl number. Therefore we present a movie for the temperature deviation DT from the stationary, linear in Z-direction field. The flow is quite different for the oxide melts due to their three order higher Prandtl number. Here is a semiconductor melt flow movie .
Red color corresponts the maximal value of the velocity, Blue color means the minimal value.
