Effect of Helium Circulation on the Onset of Oscillatory Marangoni Convection in Liquid Bridges

A half-zone experimental set-up was used to study the effects of various liquid bridge and helium flow parameters on the onset of thermocapillary convection in silicone oil liquid bridges. Experiments confirmed that helium flow has a stabilizing effect, with the effect increasing with helium velocit...
