Rotating Thermal Flows in Natural and Industrial Processes provides the reader with a
systematic description of the different types of thermal convection and flow instabilities in …

In an experimental context, the contamination of an air–liquid interface by ambient pollutants
can strongly affect the dynamics and the stability of a given flow. In some configurations, the …

A numerical simulation is performed to investigate the thermal–solutal capillary convection
in binary mixture liquid bridges with different aspect ratios (Ar) under microgravity. The open …

In differently heated slowly rotating annular pools, the thermocapillary force, buoyancy force,
and Coriolis force drive fluid flows and induce various flow instabilities. To understand these …

Marangoni effect induced by interphase mass transfer plays an important role in liquid–
liquid extraction and reaction processes. The interaction of Marangoni effect and interphase …

The buoyancy effect on the stability of axisymmetric buoyant-thermocapillary flow is
investigated in a laterally heated high-Prandtl-number liquid bridge using linear stability …

In order to understand the flow pattern transition driven by the combined Marangoni effect
and rotation of crucible and crystal, a series of unsteady three-dimensional numerical …

As a crucible-free method, the floating zone method can provide suitable conditions for
growing high purity silicon single crystals for semiconductor devices. For doped crystals, the …

The boundary conditions at a liquid–gas interface can be modified by the presence of
pollutants. This can in turn affect the stability of the associated flow. We consider this issue in …

Our study focuses on the first instability that appears in a flow generated by a rotating disc
placed at the bottom of a fixed cylindrical cavity, with a flat liquid-gas interface. Owing to the …
