Long-Wave Coupled Marangoni - Rayleigh Instability in a Binary Liquid Layer in the Presence of the Soret Effect
We have explored the combined long-wave Marangoni and Rayleigh instability of the quiescent state of a binary- liquid layer heated from below or from above in the presence of the Soret effect. We found that in the case of small Biot numbers there are two long- wave regions of interest ~ and ~ . The dependence of both monotonic and oscillatory thresholds of instability in these regions on both the Soret and dynamic Bond numbers has been investigated. The complete...
