Abstract

Wepresent systematic experimental observations demonstrating that active thermal ux ( ˙Q) produces fundamentally di erent uid dynamics than passive thermalstate (temperature T). Using controlled inclined-plane experiments, we documentuids climbing upward against gravitational potential toward heat sources, contradicting both gravitational mechanics and Marangoni thermocapillary predictions.High-speed videography reveals that boiling convection ceases within
