Abstract

We have explored the combined long-wave Marangoni and Rayleigh instability ofthe quiescent state of a binary- liquid layer heated from below or from above in the presenceof the Soret effect. We found that in the case of small Biot numbers there are two long-wave regions of interest k ~ Bi 1/2 and k ~ Bi 1/4. The dependence of both monotonic andoscillatory thresholds of instability in these regions on both the Soret and dynamic Bondnumbers has been investigated. The complete linear stability analysis reveals the diversityof instability types in the long-wave region, and a need in the development of the nonlineartheory of the discovered phenomena becomes obvious.
