In this paper, we propose a new adaptation of the D-iteration algorithm to numerically solve the differential equations. This problem can be reinterpreted in 2D or 3D (or higher dimensions) as a limit of a diffusion process where the…
We study the thermocapillary creeping flow induced by a thermal gradient at the liquid-air interface in the presence of insoluble surfactants (impurities). Convective sweeping of the surfactants causes density inhomogeneities that confers…
