An optical diagnostic system with image processor is developed for study of the kinetics of Buoyant- Thermcapillary Convection. The convection and surface deformation in a rectangular cavity with sidewalls of different temperatures are investigated. The surface deformations are calculated with the correlation analysis. The present experiment demonstrates that the surface deformation is related with the temperature gradient, surface tension and buoyancy.
