The authors investigate thermocapillary flows of homogeneous fluid in a horizontal layer of finite thickness in the presence of heat transfer on the free surface. In particular, the authors study the bifurcation of self-similar solutions of the corresponding Navier-Stokes equations. For the basic regime, assuming axial symmetry and vanishing of the circular component of velocity, the authors construct numerically the pressure gradient and velocity field through the layer thickness. Parameter domains in which the problem has several distinct solutions are calculated, and for obtained solutions it is shown that at every bifurcation point a pair of new solutions arises which can be obtained from the basic solution by a rotation around symmetry axis. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0956.00040].
