Journal ArticleDOI
On convection cells induced by surface tension
TL;DR: In this paper, a mechanism was proposed by which cellular convective motion of the type observed by H. Benard, which hitherto has been attributed to the action of buoyancy forces, can also be induced by surface tension forces.
Journal ArticleDOI
The instability of uniform viscous flow under rollers and spreaders
TL;DR: In this article, the most unstable values of the wave-number, n (characterizing the disturbance), are calculated as functions of the dimensionless variable T/μU0, and of the geometry of the system; T is the surface tension, μ the viscosity and U 0 a representative velocity of the fluid.
