Summary
The numerical method used in this work is the ADI finite differences method on a regular rectangular grid. Results for requested cases with a free upper surface are in agreement with those from other contributors. The additional contribution concerns the thermocapillary effect since this effect cannot be neglected in experiments, like in molten gallium. The influence of thermocapillarity on the onset of oscillatory convection and the flow patterns of supercritical oscillatory states are discussed.
