A top free liquid layer is heated from the bottom in a two-dimensional rectangular container with insulated side walls. The resulting thermocapillary motion is predicted by the projection method involving a Godunov-type discretization for convective terms. The velocity and temperature fields beyond those predictable via infinitesimal theories are discussed in terms of the Marangoni number, Prandtl number, Biot number, and aspect ratio.
