3.Evaporative convection
When a liquid underlies its own vapor, convection may arise due to evaporation without gravity or surface tension gradient effects. This process is named as pure evaporative convection. We investigate the effect of a finite thickness solid and a constant heat source therein using linear stability analysis. It is concluded that the vapor flow stabilizes the system while the heat source, the liquid flow and the solid depth destabilize the system.
