Abstract
We consider an inhomogeneous substrate for Marangoni convection. The inhomo geneity shows up in a nonuniform temperature distribution which we model by a periodic variation. The response can exhibit parametric resonance. Both resonant and nonresonant responses are considered and a possible strong eff ect on wave number selection indicated. [S1063-651X(99)02505-2].
