Observations on Interfacial Convection in Multiple Layers without and with Evaporation

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Physics ((LNP,volume 628))

Abstract

A tutorial is presented on convective instabilities that arise from thermocapillary and buoyancy effects in the presence of evaporation. It focuses on the effect of multiple layers on the nature of the instabilities. A comprehensive explanation of the physics of this type of convection is accompanied by results from calculations and their interpretation.
