Escaping of the liquid molecules from their liquid bulk into the vapour phase at the vapour-liquid interface is controlled by the vapour diffusion process, which nevertheless hardly senses the macroscopic shape of this interface. Here,…

The encapsulation of active particles, such as bacteria or active colloids, inside a droplet gives rise to nontrivial shape dynamics and droplet motility. To understand this behavior, we derive an asymptotic solution for the fluid flow…
