▪ Abstract This review summarizes recent experimental studies of instabilities in free-surface
flows driven by thermocapillarity. Two broad classes are considered, depending upon …

From the stripes of a zebra and the spots on a leopard's back to the ripples on a sandy
beach or desert dune, regular patterns arise everywhere in nature. The appearance and …

Interfacial Phenomena and Convection is a self-contained monograph that examines a rich
variety of phenomena in which interfaces play a crucial role. From a unified perspective that …

An experimental study of time-dependent Bénard-Marangoni convection in small aspect
ratio containers and high Prandtl number fluids is presented. Two similar systems with the …

Thermal convection in a shallow layer of liquid with an array of metallic (aluminum) cubic
elements evenly spaced along the bottom is investigated experimentally using a …

In the experimental part, which employed infrared (IR) camera, temperature distributions at
the free surface of ethanol layers in deep and shallow vessels under room temperature or …

A linear study of the Bénard-Marangoni instability in small rigid circular containers is
presented. The fluid is assumed to be Newtonian with a temperature-dependent surface …

We studied, experimentally, the pattern dynamics and free surface deformation in Bénard–
Marangoni convection, in a circular container (aspect ratio= 6). The free surface deformation …

The interaction between magnetic fields and convection is interesting both because of its
astrophysical importance and because the nonlinear Lorentz force leads to an especially …

The container geometry's effect on flow patterns that form near the onset of interfacial-driven
convection were studied. Numerical studies indicate that the flow patterns at the onset of …
