Abstract
The results reported here are part of a research project aimed at investigating the influence of transient temperature fields on Marangoni convection. In this publication, theoretical solutions for stationary flow fields of a freely floating drop in response to a given temperature field are presented. In contrast to existing literature, the temperature dependence of material constants is taken into account. It is found that the errors made in the solutions for flow and temperature fields incurred by neglecting this temperature dependence is substantial even at small Marangoni (Mg) and Reynolds (Re) numbers respectively. Flow and temperature fields for 0 ≤ Re ≤ 5000 and 0 ≤ Mg ≤ 1000 are depicted.
