Induced surface oscillations due to time-oscillatory temperature distribution in a visco-elastic spherical system
Abstract
The role of Maxwellian viscoelasticity in the thermal Marangoni effect is investigated analytically. The basic equations are derived; the solution procedures for spherical liquid drops, two immiscible liquids in a spherical container, and an annular liquid layer around a rigid central sphere are explained; and numerical results are presented graphically. The importance of the effects studied for experimentation and manufacturing under microgravity conditions is discussed.
