Abstract:
The onset of Rayleigh-Marangoni convection in a vertical annulus heated from below is investigated using linear stability analysis. The results of the present study also show the pattern transitions as a function of scaled gap width and aspect ratio. It is concluded that Marangoni convection can change the fluid pattern in an otherwise pure Rayleigh problem. It is also concluded that the gap width cannot significantly change the Marangoni effect as it is essentially the depth of liquid and Biot number that play a dominant role.

Mechanisms of Heat Transfer
Conduction, accounting for approximately 3% of body heat loss at rest, is the process of exchanging heat between molecules of two materials in direct contact. This can result in both heat loss and gain. For instance, when the body is submerged in water, which conducts heat 20 times more effectively than air, it can either lose or gain significant heat.
