Description

Results of nonlinear simulations of convective flows in two-layer systems on different scales under the action of a temperature gradient along the interface, are presented. Both purely thermocapillary flows and buoyant-thermocapillary flows are considered. Also, the nonlinear development of the instability in ultra-thin films caused by intermolecular forces, is investigated
