Symmetry-Breaking in Point-Heated Droplets

We investigate theoretically the stability of thermo-capillary convection within a droplet when heated by a point source from below. To model the droplet, we use a mathematical model based on lubrication theory. We formulate a base-state droplet profile, and we examine its respect to small-amplitude...
