We present results from simulations of transient acceleration (g-jitter) in both axial and transverse directions in a simplified prototype of a vertical Bridgman crystal growth system. We also present results on the effects of applying a steady magnetic field in axial or transverse directions to damp the flow. In most cases application of a magnetic field suppresses flow oscillations, but for transverse jitter at intermediate frequencies, flow oscillations grow larger.
