We investigate the diffusiophoresis of a non-polarizable droplet laden with soluble ionic surfactant, for which the surface charge arises from adsorption of surfactant at the fluid-fluid interface. Unlike previous studies that assume either…
Phoresis, the drift of particles induced by scalar gradients in a flow, can result in an effective compressibility, bringing together or repelling particles from each other. Here, we ask whether this effect can affect the transport of…
The scaling invariance for chaotic orbits near a transition from unlimited to limited diffusion in a dissipative standard mapping is explained via the analytical solution of the diffusion equation. It gives the probability of observing a…
