532.68The thermocapillary flow of a metal melt in a rectangular pool driven by an electronic beam is numerically simulated neglecting the gravitational forces for the 2-D problem formulation. The flow is created by the surface tension gradient at the free surface dependent on the temperature. It is shown that in a pool with a 1 : 1 depth-towidth ratio secondary cells develop, whereas in the shallow pool they are absent.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
