The influence of buoyancy force on the thermocapillary convection instability in the annular pools (R (i) = 20 mm, R (o) = 40 mm, and depth d ranging from 1 to 10 mm) of silicon melt (Pr = 0.011), differentially heated at the outer wall and cooled at the inner wall, is investigated numerically. The critical Marangoni numbers (Ma (c)) for the incipience of oscillatory flow are determined by linear stability analysis (LSA) under both microgravity and normal gravity conditions. The results indicate that the buoyancy force destabilizes the thermocapillary convection under different liquid layer depths from 3 to 10 mm. With increasing the layer depth, the critical Ma number, critical azimuthal wave number and critical phase velocity decrease. Some of 3-D simulation results are compared with those of LSA. 3-D results are found consistent with the LSA results except for a case of D = 0.05 where 3-D simulation gives a stationary 3-D flow under a large Ma.
