Description:
In the experiments reported here, correlation measurements with three fixed thermocouples and direct optical observations of the dynamically deformed liquid-gas interface were used to study the spatiotemporal structure of stable and unstable thermocapillary flows. The frequency, wavelength, phase speed, angle of propagation, and stability limits are reported for two geometrically different configurations of thermocapillary flow in side-heated thin liquid layers. A theoretical interpretation of the results is presented.
