Oscillatory thermocapillary flow in liquid bridges of high Prandtl number fluids is investigated experimentally as well as numerically. Heat loss from the free surface is shown to have significant influence on the onset of oscillations. In the present work the surrounding air flow pattern is changed

The effect of free surface heat loss on oscillatory thermocapillary flow is investigated in liquid bridges of high Prandtl number fluids. It is shown experimentally that the critical temperature difference changes by a factor of two to three by changing the air temperature relative to the cold wall
In present study, effect of interfacial heat transfer with ambient gas on the onset of oscillatory convection in a liquid bridge of large Prandtl number on the ground is systematically investigated by the method of linear stability analyses. With both the constant and linear ambient air temperature
