The transport properties of the convective fluid motion in a MOCVD reactor are investigated using a numerical method. For the purpose of a uniform deposition rate on a substrate with a diameter of 3 inches, a combinatorial optimization was carried out concerning the pressure, the mass-flow rate and the reactor's geometry. Under the optimal condition, a deposition uniformity within *O.6% is attainable. The results also reveal a variety of flow configurations,depending on the relative magnitudes of the forced and natural convections. When the volumetric velocity of the supplied gas decreases, a recirculating vortex appears on the upstream side of the deposition surface. The numerical result ssuggest that the appearance of the vortex is governed by Fr/Re when Re<Re^c and by Fr when Re>Re^c
