Study on the Instability of Two-Phase Flow in the Heat-Absorbing Tube of Trough Solar Collector

The Marangoni effect and Rayleigh-Benard effect in the two-phase region of solar trough heat-absorbing tube are simulated by FTM (front tracking method). Considering the Marangoni effect alone, although surface tension gradient and surface tension affect the interface wave, the two effects have diff...
