Phys. Rev. E 53, R2057–R2059 (1996)Instability threshold in the Bénard-Marangoni problem
Threshold values for the onset of Bénard-Marangoni convection and the critical dimensionless wave number which characterizes the size of the cells in a liquid layer heated from below are obtained by using linear perturbation techniques. The regions of instability in the three-dimensional space of the Marangoni, Rayleigh, and Biot numbers are determined for the coupled thermocapillary-buoyancy instability problem. © 1996 The American Physical Society URL:
