Gas bubble behaviour near the crystallization front (CF)
is influences by the thermocapillar Marangoni convection as well as
distortions in the melt thermal field and hydrodynamic flow due to
adjacent phase interface. It has been shown that thermocapillary flow
becomes weakened near the CF and the Marangoni force acting on the
bubble increases.
