要約

Thermocapillary-driven convection in a half-zone liquid bridge was investigated experimentally. Special attention was paid upon the flow structures far beyond the critical condition. The authors categorized the induced flows into several regimes mainly by the suspended particle motion in the bridge and the surface temperature variation. Chaotic and turbulent flows were realized in this configuration. They were distinguished by applying the pseudo-phase-space reconstruction from the time series of the surface temperature.
