Zusammenfassung: | Zhurnal Fizicheskoi Khimii 30 (1956) 366-373 (In Russian) When the liquid has a free interface and is heated nonuniformly then besides
the gravitational convection a different motion appears. This kind of a motion
is originated because of a gradient of the surface tension over the liquid
interface. It is suggested to call it a thermocapillary motion in analogy with
an electrocapillary motion. The present paper develops a theory of
thermocapillary motion for two distinct geometries: a liquid layer and a liquid
drop suspended in another viscous medium. For both geometries, assuming the
non-deformable interfaces, the velocity profiles are found and feasibility of
the assumptions made is discussed. To our knowledge, this is a first ether
attempt of theoretical consideration of the thermocapillary motion (KM & SB). |
