Abstract

Transient growth in thermocapillary liquid layers is examined by nonmodal stability theory. Rather large transient growth occurs in subcritical flows at small Prandtl numbers. The growth decreases with Prandtl number but increases with Biot number, while its energy comes from the basic flow.
