Abstract
- Compared with the former studies, the perturbation behavior of thermocapillary–buoyancy convection caused by the simultaneous coupling response of the microscale surface flow, free surface deformation and spatiotemporal evolution of flow patterns is revealed by the combination of experimental and numerical methods for the first time. The free surface morphology transforms from the 'Ƨ'-shape into the twisted 'M'-shape in the corresponding balanced stage of thermocapillary–buoyancy convection (at t = 975, Bod = 251.5), and eventually becomes 'Ƨ'-shape in the corresponding third stage (Bod = 229.9). Meanwhile, there is a weak response of the free surface flow during each transition stage accompanied by periodic hydrothermal waves. The perturbation characteristics of the velocity, the temperature and the transverse location of surface flow are the most prominent at the intermediate height of liquid bridge (y = 0.2). The characteristic of longitudinal velocity mainly presents as the pulsation, while there is also the pulsation inside the oscillation of transverse velocity with the large amplitude (the oscillating period of 2fu = 7.2 s and the amplitude of Au = 0.0057). The periodic characteristic of temperature oscillation is obvious (2fθ = 0.2 s, Au = 0.015). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
