Abstract
In the present paper, the coordinated measurements of the temperature profile inside the liquid bridge and the boundary variation of free surface, in addition to other quantities, were obtained in the same time for the half floating zone convection. The results show that the onset of free surface oscillation is earlier than the one of temperature oscillation during the increasing of applied temperature difference, and the critical Marangoni numbers, defined usually by temperature measurement, are larger than the one defined by free surface measurement, and the difference depends on the volume of liquid bridge. These results induce the question, “How to determine experimentally the critical Marangoni number?”
