Axisymmetric flows of fluids of various Prandtl numbers, Pr, in a cylindrical and undeformable liquid bridge submitted to a lateral heating are studied in a zero gravity environment, up to their transitions to unsteadiness. The governing equations are solved numerically by a pseudospectral scheme. The results depend on Pr, in a nonmonotonic fashion, as, for instance, the threshold of the onset to unsteadiness. It has always been reached, except for our Pr=1 experiment, run up to a Marangoni number value Ma=106. The steady flows at very high Reynolds numbers (up to 107) offer a rich structure. A first incursion into unsteadiness shows different flow structure evolutions, depending on whether Pr is smaller or larger than one. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.
