Scaling of low-Prandtl-number thermocapillary flowsScaling analysis was used to study thermocapillary flows of low-Prandtl-number fluids in shallow rectangular enclosures under an imposed-heat-flux configuration. Different regimes that appear in the thermo-fluid problem are identified and the proper parameters and reference quantities that define them are obtained. Assuming that the flow is driven by thermocapillary effects and it is concluded that the extent of the region where the thermocapillary driving force is important defines the region of applicability of the scaling results.
