Long-Wavelength Instability in Surface-Tension-Driven Benard Convection
Stephen J. Vanhook, Michael F. Schatz, William D. McCormick +2
Laboratory studies reveal a deformational instability that leads to a drained region (dry spot) in an initially flat liquid layer (with a free upper surface) heated uniformly from…
