Abstract

The complexity of interfacial convection has long exerted a pull and, at the same time, is the reason why this type of flow still belongs to the class of problems in chemical engineering and non-linear physics which are not fully resolved. This flow arises from the Marangoni instability which typically occurs when surface-active solutes, or heat, undergo a mass or heat transfer across an interface. During these processes various types of both quasi-steady and time-dependent flow structures have been observed [1–12].
