Marangoni instability in a liquid sheetWe study the onset of a pure Marangoni convection in a liquid layer with two deformable interfaces in the no-gravity environment. Both oscillatory and stationary instabilities are considered for a wide range of parameters. It is shown that only stationary instability is possible when surface tension at the colder interface is lower than that at the hotter one. Oscillatory instability tends to disappear and to be replaced by the stationary instability with increase of the Prandtl number and decrease of surface tension at the colder interface.
