Abstract

Linear stability theory is applied to the problem of Marangoni convection in a rotating horizontal fluid layer subject to a uniform heat flux from below. The fluid layer is bounded from below by a rigid boundary and above by a deformable free surface. We show how the Pr-Ta parameter space is divided into regions in which steady or oscillatory convection is preferred.
