Abstract
Analytical and numerical studies are conducted for two‐dimensional steady‐state Marangoni convection of a non‐Newtonian power law fluid confined in a rectangular horizontal shallow cavity subjected to a horizontal temperature gradient between the two short vertical rigid sides, while the upper free surface and the lower rigid one are insulated. The effect of the non‐Newtonian behavior on the hydrodynamic stability, the fluid flow, the temperature field, and the heat transfer is studied. The parallel flow is obtained in some particular situations for which a good agreement is observed between the analytical results based on the parallel flow assumption and those corresponding to the numerical simulations.
