Hydrothermal-wave instabilities in thermocapillary convection are known to produce undesirable effects when they occur during the float-zone crystal-growth process, and perhaps in other situations. Suppression of the hydrothermal-wave instability produced in the model system of Part 1 (Riley & Neitzel 1998) is demonstrated through the sensing of free-surface temperature perturbations and the periodic addition of heat at the free surface along lines parallel to the crests of the hydrothermal waves.

Energy stability theory has been applied to a basic state of thermocapillary convection occurring in a cylindrical half-zone of finite length to determine conditions under which the flow will be stable. Because of the finite length of the zone, the basic state must be determined numerically. Instead of obtaining stability criteria by solving the related Euler–Lagrange equations, the variational problem is attacked directly by discretization of the integrals in the energy identity using finite differences. Results of the analysis are values of the Marangoni number, MaE, below which axisymmetric disturbances to the basic state will decay, for various values of the other parameters governing the problem.
