In this review, we describe both theoretical and experimental results on the dynamics of
liquid bridges under isothermal conditions with fixed triple contact lines. These two major …

Phase change materials (PCM) are commonly used for energy storage in a variety of
terrestrial applications and offer promise for future space exploration. We present a three …

The primary instability of thermocapillary flow in a liquid bridge between two coaxial disks
with different radii is investigated under microgravity for silicon melt with Prandtl number Pr …

The linear stability of the axisymmetric steady thermocapillary flow in a liquid bridge made
from 2 cSt silicone oil (Prandtl number 28) is investigated numerically in the framework of the …

The effect of Prandtl number on the instability of thermocapillary liquid bridges has been
extensively studied, but the vast majority of efforts were put into typical cylindrical liquid …

The linear stability of the axisymmetric steady flow in a thermocapillary liquid bridge made
from 2-cSt silicone oil is investigated numerically. The liquid bridge is heated either from …

The axisymmetric steady two-phase flow of a differentially heated thermocapillary liquid
bridge in air and its linear stability is investigated numerically, taking into account dynamic …

In the presence of temperature gradients along the gas–liquid interface, a liquid bridge is
prone to hydrothermal instabilities. In the case of a coaxial gas stream, in addition to …

We explore the geometric effects on the thermocapillary flow instabilities in large Prandtl
number (Pr= 1.4) liquid bridges between two coaxial disks with different radii under …

Thermocapillary convection and its stability are of particular importance during the floating
zone crystal growth process. In this paper, three-dimensional (3D) transient numerical …
