Onset of Surface-Tension-Driven Benard Convection
Experiments with shadowgraph visualization reveal a subcritical transition to
a hexagonal convection pattern in thin liquid layers that have a free upper
surface and are heated from below. The measured critical Marangoni number (84)
and observation of hysteresis (3%) agree with theory. In some experiments,
imperfect bifurcation is observed and is attributed to deterministic forcing
caused in part by the lateral boundaries in the experiment.Comment: 4 pages. The RevTeX file has a macro allowing various styles. The
