Abstract
When a thin film consisting of two layers of different liquids is heated from above, some oscillations of its interfaces can appear spontaneously due to the temperature dependence of interfacial tensions (Marangoni convection). These oscillations have a certain natural frequency. We investigate the possibility of changing that frequency by a periodic modulation of heating or cooling of the interface between the liquid layers. We found that in some intervals of the modulation frequency a synchronization occurs: the natural frequency of oscillations is shifted in such a way that it becomes commensurate to the external modulation frequency.
