On oscillatory Marangoni convection in rotating fluid layer with flat free surface subject to uniform heat flux from below

Abstract

The effect of uniform rotation on the onset of steady and oscillatory surface-tension-driven (Marangoni) convection in a horizontal fluid layer with a flat free upper surface and heated from below with a uniform heat flux is considered theoretically using linear stability theory. The Ta– Pr parameter space, divided into domains in which either steady or oscillatory convection is preferred, is presented.
