The onset of convection caused by surface tension (ST) during transient cooling of a thin layer of liquid is investigated. This study shows that it can be predicted by a newly defined transient Marangoni number Ma, which incorporates the mode and rate of cooling, where a non-linear temperature profi

Oscillatory onset of convection is studied numerically for Rivlin-Ericksen, Maxwell and Jeffreys liquids by considering free-free and rigid-free isothermal/adiabatic boundaries. The effect of variable viscosity parameter is shown to destabilize the system. The problem reveals the stabilizing nature
An accurate numerical analysis for the onset of thermal convection in a twolayer system is presented. The system comprises a saturated porous layer over which lies a layer of the same fluid. The layered system is heated from below, the upper (fluid) surface is free to the atmosphere, and convection
