AbstractConvective instability driven by surface-tension effects (Marangoni instability) in a horizontal fluid layer heated from below is studied. The behaviour in a micro-gravity environment is more specifically emphasized. Mathematically, the problem can be treated by various approaches. The present note is devoted to a survey of three widely used techniques, namely the normal mode, the energy and Malkus-Veroni's iterative methods. It is shown that convection assumes cellular forms which in the steady regime, and in micro-gravity, appear as regular hexagonal cells.
