TY - JOUR AB - Long-wave thermocapillary instabilities were considered for the case of a horizontal thin liquid layer lying upon a solid substrate with both nonuniform and uniform base temperatures. The temperature gradient of the substrate was allowed to drive the thermocapillary action causing the base state to deform into a thickened region downstream of the applied thermal gradient and a thinned region upstream. The resultant data were analyzed in detail.
