Abstract

Hydrothermal-wave instabilities in thermocapillary convection are known to produce undesirable effects when they occur during the float-zone crystal-growth process, and perhaps in other situations. Suppression of the hydrothermal-wave instability produced in the model system of Part 1 (Riley & Neitzel 1998) is demonstrated through the sensing of free-surface temperature perturbations and the periodic addition of heat at the free surface along lines parallel to the crests of the hydrothermal waves.
