The dynamics of wetting and dewetting is largely determined by the velocity field near the contact lines. For water drops it has been observed that adding surfactant decreases the dynamic receding contact angle even at a concentration much…

The motion of a viscous deformable droplet suspended in an unbounded Poiseuille flow in the presence of bulk-insoluble surfactants is studied analytically. Assuming the convective transport of fluid and heat to be negligible, we perform a…

A surfactant-laden droplet of one fluid dispersed in another immiscible fluid serves as an artificial model system capable of mimicking microbial swimmers. Either an interfacial chemical reaction or the process of solubilization generates…

In the present study, we investigate the cross-stream migration of a deformable droplet suspended in a non-isothermal Poiseuille flow in the presence of bulk-insoluble surfactants. Owing to the non-linearity present in the system of…

Understanding and modulating the cross-stream motion of a surfactant-coated droplet in pressure driven flow has great implications in many practical applications. A combination of interfacial viscosity and Marangoni stress acting over a…

We study the deformation of a surfactant-covered droplet under shear flow using a phase-field model that explicitly accounts for both the surfactant concentration and its polarization, representing the average molecular orientation. We…

We study the effect of insoluble surfactants on the impact of surfactant-free droplets on surfactant-laden thin liquid films via a fully three-dimensional direct numerical simulations approach that employs a hybrid…

Coalescence of micrometer-scale droplets is impacted by several parameters, including droplet size, viscosities of the two phases, droplet velocity and angle of approach, as well as interfacial tension and surfactant coverage. The dynamics…

In piezo acoustic drop-on-demand inkjet printing a single droplet is produced for each piezo driving pulse. This droplet is typically multicomponent, including surfactants to control the spreading and drying of the droplet on the substrate.…

In this study we attempt to explore the consequences of surfactant coating on the electrohydrodynamic manipulation of a drop motion in a plane Poiseuielle flow. In addition we consider bulk insoluble surfactants and a linear dependency of…

The motion of a surfactant-laden viscous droplet in the presence of background non-isothermal Poiseuille flow is studied analytically and numerically. Specifically, the effect of interfacial Marangoni stress due to non-uniform distribution…

The surfactant-driven spreading of droplets is an essential process in many applications ranging from coating flow technology to enhanced oil recovery. Despite the significant advancement in describing spreading processes in…

In this work, we investigate flow topology modifications produced by a swarm of large surfactant-laden droplets released in a turbulent channel flow. Droplets have same density and viscosity of the carrier fluid, so that only surface…

The motion of a viscous droplet in unbounded Poiseuille flow under the combined influence of bulk-insoluble surfactant and linearly varying temperature field aligned in the direction of imposed flow is studied analytically. Neglecting fluid…

In the present study we analytically investigate the deformation and bulk rheology of a dilute emulsion of surfactant-laden droplets suspended in a linear flow. We use an asymptotic approach to predict the effect of surfactant distribution…

Droplet impact on surfactant-laden thin liquid films is investigated experimentally with emphasis on vortex ring dynamics. Bottom- and side-view imaging reveal that increasing surfactant concentration progressively stabilize vortex rings,…

Superhydrophobic surfaces (SHSs) have the potential to achieve large drag reduction for internal and external flow applications. However, experiments have shown inconsistent results, with many studies reporting significantly reduced…

The migration characteristics of a suspended deformable droplet in a parallel plate microchannel is studied, both analytically and numerically, under the combined influence of a constant temperature gradient in the transverse direction and…

Guided by computation, we theoretically calculate the steady flow driven by Marangoni stress due to surfactant introduced on a fluid interface at a constant rate. Two separate extreme cases, where the surfactant dynamics is dominated by the…

In this work, we study the effect of insoluble surfactants on the three-dimensional rim-driven retraction dynamics of thin water sheets in air. We employ an interface-tracking/level-set method to ensure the full coupling between the…
