In order to understand the characteristics of thermocapillary convection, we conducted a series of unsteady three-dimensional numerical simulations of thermocapillary convection of low Prandtl number fluid in a shallow cylindrical pool with an azimuthal nonuniform temperature, an adiabatic solid bottom and free surface. The simulation results indicate that thermocapillary convection is steady three-dimensional flow at the small Marangoni number. But when Marangoni number exceeds some critical value, the flow will undergo a transition to oscillatory three-dimensional flow. The critical conditions for the onset of oscillatory flow are determined. Details of the flow and temperature fields are discussed, and oscillation frequencies are also exhibited.
