Abstract
Coherent strucutres of m = 1 are investigated via microgravity and terrestrial experiments in thermocapillary-driven convection in half-zone liquid bridge of high Prandtl number. Individual behaviors of low Stokes number particles are monitored in the laboratory frame and the rotating frame of reference to illustrate the correlation between the coherent structure and the thermal flow field induced by the hydrothermal wave instability.
