Abstract
The flow structure and mass transfer in crystallizers determine the level of salt supersaturation of the solution near the crystallization surface. However, experimental determination of such supersaturation is difficult. Therefore, it is important to develop adequate numerical models for studying the flow and mass transfer in real molds. Simulation tools were used to study the effectiveness of fundamentally new experimental schemes of the process for the stable growth of KDP crystals.
