We linearly analyzed the effect of the Prandtl number (Pr) on the stability of thermocapillary
flow in shallow annular pools with an aspect ratio Γ=(R oR i)/d= 20 and two radius ratios Γ …

A series of experiments on thermocapillary-buoyancy convection in Czochralski
configuration with different liquid depths have been conducted. Prandtl numbers of the …

In order to understand clearly the transition characteristics of thermocapillary convection of
low Prandtl number fluid in shallow annular pool with surface heat dissipation, some …

In order to understand the effect of surface heat dissipation on thermocapillary convection of

A series of terrestrial experiments on thermocapillary-buoyancy convection of medium
Prandtl number liquids (Pr= 6.7-25.2) were performed in annular pools with different depths …

In order to understand clearly the flow pattern transition and the destabilization mechanism
