AbstractWe study the influence of low-frequency vibration on Marangoni instability in a layer of a binary mixture with the Soret effect. A linear stability analysis is performed numerically for perturbations of a finite wavelength (short-wave perturbations). Competition between long-wave and short-wave modes is found: the former ones are critical at smaller absolute values of the Soret number $\chi $, whereas the latter ones lead to instability at higher $\vert \chi \vert $. In both cases the vibration destabilizes the layer. Two variants of calculations are performed: via Floquet theory (linear asymptotic stability) and taking noise into consideration (empirical criterion). It is found that fluctuations substantially reduce the domains of stability. Further, while studying a limiting case within the empirical criterion, we have found a short-wave instability mode overlooked in former investigations of coupled Rayleigh–Marangoni convection in a layer of pure liquid.

A theoretical examination is made of the mechanical quasi-equilibrium stability of a horizontal, binary-mixture layer with Soret effect in the presence of a high-frequency vibrational field. The boundaries of the layer are assumed to be rigid, isothermal and impermeable. The axis of vibration is longitudinal. The study is based on the system of equations describing the behaviour of mean fields. The conditions of quasi-equilibrium are formulated. A linear stability analysis for normal modes is carried out. In the limit of long-wave disturbances the regular perturbation method is used with the wavenumber as a small parameter. For the case of an arbitrary wavenumber, the calculations are made using straight forward numerical integration. The boundaries of stability and the critical disturbance characteristics are determined for representative parameter values. Different instability mechanism and forms are discussed.

The lateral line organs of the sea eel consist of canal and pit organs which are different in function. The former is a low frequency vibration detector whereas the latter functions as an ion receptor as well as a mechano receptor.The fine structure of the sensory epithelia of both organs were studied by means of ordinary transmission electron microscope, high voltage electron microscope and of surface scanning electron microscope.The sensory cells of the canal organ are polarized in front-caudal direction and those of the pit organ are polarized in dorso-ventral direction. The sensory epithelia of both organs have thinner surface coats compared to the surrounding ordinary epithelial cells, which have very thick fuzzy coatings on the apical surface.
