Abstract

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.
