Abstract
It was found that timewise fluctuating temperature gradients induce, due to the variation of the surface tension, oscillations of the free surface of a liquid column, which may in or close to resonance lead to large amplitudes, able to disingtegrate the liquid system. An analytical solution leading to the magnification functions and their phases is presented for an arbitrary angular temperature field.
