Abstract

Three-dimensional oscillatory thermocapillary convection in both cylindrical and concave non-cylindrical liquid bridge (Pr = 7) under microgravity is investigated numerically by finite volume method. The pattern selection of convection is observed to depend on the shape of free surface. An explanation on the mechanism of convective instability and the nature of pattern selection are presented.
