Abstract
The variation of surface tension with temperature and concentration constit utes a driving mechanism known as Marangoni convection. We study a coupled thermo- and solutocapillary surface-tension-driven shear flow in an unbound ed plane layer. The basic flow can be calculated analytically. The stabilit y of the flow is investigated by a linear analysis. Results are presented f or binary mixtures with low Prandtl and high Schmidt numbers typical for li quid metals.
