Abstract
Nonlinear regimes of Marangoni convection in a real symmetric three-layer system with close values of thermal diffusivities of fluids are investigated. The predictions of the linear stability theory and experiments concerning the appearance of oscillations, are justified. The transitions between different oscillatory flow regimes have been studied.
