On convection driven by surface tension caused by transient heat conduction

The onset of convection caused by surface tension (ST) during transient cooling of a thin layer of liquid is investigated. This study shows that it can be predicted by a newly defined transient Marangoni number Ma, which incorporates the mode and rate of cooling, where a non-linear temperature profi...
