| Abstract: | Under the conditions of the Plato technique, the problem of convection in a droplet immersed in a nonuniformly heated liquid is solved analytically. The influence of gravitational convection on the thermocapillary flow is studied. In the linear approximation with respect to the Marangoni and Grashof numbers and their product, the shape of the droplet and the displacement of its center of the mass are obtained.Perm.
