Abstract
The behavior of a velocity component of silicon melt particles tangent to a free boundary during floating zone melting in a magnetic field is studied. It is shown that neglecting convective terms in a skin layer adjacent to the free boundary leads to erroneous results: the tangential velocity cannot reach a constant value during motion along the normal to the free boundary, which, in turn, leads to a tenfold decrease in the characteristic velocity of melt particles outside the skin layer, as shown previously with complete solution of the problem.
