    The author analyzes an unsteady two-dimensional thermocapillary convection with deformable free surface in a rectangular cavity. Various scales for temperature field, velocity field, and surface deformation, and the relevant dimensionless parameters are derived properly. A clearer physical mechanism for the onset of oscillatory thermocapillary convection is thus provided.
