Interfacial nonequilibrium and Bénard-Marangoni instability of a liquid-vapor system

The role of evaporation in a two-phase liquid-vapor system on Marangoni instability was studied. The investigation was undertaken within the classical quasisteady approximation for both the vapor and the liquid phases. Temporary frozen temperature and velocity distributions were employed at each instant for the stability analysis, limited to infinitesimal disturbances. The influence of the evaporation parameters and of the presence of an inert gas on the marginal stability curves was also discussed.SCOPUS: ar.jSCOPUS: ar.j
