Nonlinear traveling waves in a multilayer system.
The nonlinear convective regimes in multilayer system air-ethylene glycol-fluorinert FC75 heated from below under the joint action of buoyant and thermocapillary mechanisms of instability are investigated. The periodic boundary conditions on the lateral boundaries are considered. It is found that the competition of both mechanisms of instability may lead to the development of specific types of flow: buoyant-thermocapillary traveling wave and pulsating traveling wave.
