Abstract
The oscillating disturbances in a plane layer with a temperature gradient are analyzed. It is shown that for heating from below taking the deformability of the free surface into account leads to the appearance of short-wave oscillatory instability, which becomes the most dangerous mode. Moreover, the interaction of the capillary and thermocapillary instability mechanisms results in the appearance of oscillating disturbances of a new type, which lead to equilibrium crisis at high Marangoni numbers. It is established that when the free boundary is heated, the onset of convection is possible only with respect to oscillatory disturbances.
