| Abstract: | The problem of stability of a plane horizontal layer of liquid heated from below is considered with surface tension at the upper surface taken into account. The problem is stated in section 1, proof of the existence of stability threshold is given in section 2, while section 3 concerns the construction of neutral curves by numerical methods and with the stabilizing effect of surface tension on the state of equilibrium.Translated from Zhurnal Prikladnoi Mekhaniki i Tekhnicheskoi Fiziki, Vol. 10, No. 3, pp. 89–92, May–June, 1969. |
