Abstract
Numerical simulation of industrial crystal growth is dificult due to its multidisciplinary nature and complex geometry of real-life growth equipment. An attempt is made to itemize physical phenomena dominant in different methods for growth of bulk crystals from melt and from vapour phase and to review corresponding numerical approaches. Academic research and industrial applications are compared. Development of computational engine and graphic user interface of industry-oriented codes is discussesd. In conclusion, a simulator for the entire growth process of bulk crystals by sublimation method is described.
