Manuel Vega de Prada %A Edgar Knobloch %J Journal of Fluid Mechanics %T Long-wave Marangoni instability with vibration %X The effect of vertical vibration on the long-wave instability of a Marangoni system is studied. The vibration augments the stabilizing effect of surface tension in bounded systems. In laterally unbounded systems nonlinear terms can stabilize non-flat states and prevent the appearance of dry spots. The effect of a slight inclination of the system is also considered. %P 61-87 %V 546 %D 2006 %R 10.1017/S0022112005007007 %I Cambridge University Press %L upm6081
