Mn. Libenson et Va. Shiryaev, Allowance for effects due to thermoelectrically induced vortex motion in an analysis of structure formation on melt surfaces, TECH PHYS, 45(3), 2000, pp. 290-293
A model of thermoelectrically induced formation of surface periodic structu
res allowing for vortex motion of the melt is proposed. An analytical solut
ion for surface profile dynamics involving two-dimensional transport is obt
ained. It is shown that structure formation can occur only when the melt vi
scosity is sufficiently low. (C) 2000 MAIK "Nauka/Interperiodica".
