Thermal conduction, thermal radiation, silicon melt and argon gas convection in a casting furnace for multi-crystalline silicon ingot were solved in a coupled way. The effects of argon flow rate on the global thermal field and the silicon melt flow were investigated. The results showed that the argon flow could significantly influence the melt convection and heat transport in a casting process when the argon gas flow rate exceeds a critical value.
