Benard and Marangoni convection in multiple liquid layersConvective fluid dynamics of immiscible double and triple liquid layers are considered. First results on multilayer convective flow, in preparation for spaceflight experiment aboard IML-2 (International Microgravity Laboratory), are discussed. Convective flow in liquid layers with one or two horizontal interfaces with heat flow applied parallel to them is one of the systems investigated. The second system comprises two horizontally layered immiscible liquids heated from below and cooled from above, that is, heat flow orthogonal to the interface. In this system convection results due to the classical Benard instability.
