| Abstract: | The present note considers two problems concerning the thermocapillary motion, due to the existence of a temperature gradient,
of a weightless liquid with a parabolic dependence of the surface tension on the temperature. These problems admit self-similar
solutions (in the generalized sense) within the framework of the Navier-Stokes equations. It is noted that the solution may
not be unique.
