Influence of buoyancy on thermocapillary oscillations in a two-layer system.
The influence of buoyancy on thermocapillary oscillations was investigated. Nonlinear simulations of standing Marangoni waves in a real two-layer system of fluids were performed. Both the subcritical and supercritical oscillatory regimes were studied. It was found that buoyancy leads to the regularization and suppression of oscillations. The conditions for observation of different types of instability are discussed.
