Abstract
A model of Czrochralski crystal growth is presented that reduces the issue of finding the temperature distribution as a Stefan problem. From the temperature distribution the corresponding distribution of thermal stress inside the growing crystal can be computed. This work will allow the rapid simulation of a variety of crystal growing strategies which would be prohibitively expensive in an experimental setting.
