Abstract

The aim of this work is the numerical study of Marangoni effect using three different methods. They are a finite element method, the classical boundary element method (BEM) and a modified BEM taking into account the singularities of the solution at the corners of the computing domain. The Marangoni flow occurs in a pellicle of  triangular transverse section situated on an inclined plane. On the liquid-gas interface a gradient of surface tension acts along or against the gravity. We obtain numerically the velocity field for various surface tension gradients. Modified BEM proved to be the most reliable approach.
