Abstract
Many experimental investigations and numerical analyses on the thermocapillary flow in the surroundings of hemispherical bubbles under a horizontal heated wall have been carried out, mainly to clarify the role of this convection in boiling heat transfer (McGrew et al. 1966, Gaddis 1968, Larkin 1970, Kao & Kenning 1972 and Huplik & Raithby 1972). Recently the interest on the thermocapillary flow in the vicinity of bubbles attached to a heated or a cooled solid wall has increased, particulary in context with microgravity applications, e.g. problems of chemical engineering, material sciences and liquid management in the space-laboratory and spacecraft.
