In the minutes immediately preceeding the rupture of a soap bubble, distinctive and repeatable patterns can be observed. These quasi-stable transient structures are associated with the instabilities of the complex Marangoni flows on the…
A droplet falling toward a solid surface displaces the surrounding air until it encounters a defect, and contact nucleates. On atomically smooth surfaces devoid of defects, contact can be delayed until the droplet rebounds; however, above a…
Experiments indicate that microdroplets undergoing micellar solubilization in the bulk of surfactant solution may excite Marangoni flows and self-propel spontaneously. Surprisingly, self-propulsion emerges even when the critical micelle…
Spin coating of thin films of viscous liquids on a rotating substrate is a core technological component of semiconductor microchip fabrication. The thinning dynamics is influenced by many physical processes. Specifically temperature…
Thermocapillary migration of a planar non-deformable droplet in flow fields with two uniform temperature gradients at moderate and large Marangoni numbers is studied numerically by using the front-tracking method. It is observed that the…
It is well accepted that an outward Marangoni convection from a low surface tension region will make the surface depressed. Here, we report that this established perception is only valid for thin liquid films. Using surface laser heating,…
Thin liquid films are ubiquitous across many natural and engineering systems, including films which are laden with surface active molecules, i.e. surfactants. The presence of surfactants may have a destabilising effect on the film owing to…
Interfacial tension gradients drive flow along liquid-liquid interfaces in a process known as the Marangoni effect. Such gradients can be caused by surfactants, which has been extensively studied in the literature. Less is known of its…
In this paper we study the well-posedness and long-time dynamics of a diffuse-interface model for the mixture of two viscous incompressible Newtonian fluids with thermo-induced Marangoni effects. The governing system consists of modified…
Experimental observations indicate that chemically active droplets suspended in a surfactant-laden fluid can self-propel spontaneously. The onset of this motion is attributed to a symmetry-breaking Marangoni instability resulting from the…
The stability of a thin liquid film bounded by two free surfaces is examined in the presence of insoluble surface active agents. The surface active agents not only cause gradients in surface tension, but could also render surface viscosity…
Hydrodynamic coarsening of bicontinuous domains is a central process in liquid-liquid phase separation, yet how soluble surfactants regulate this process remains poorly understood. Using a validated two-order-parameter phase-field model…
This study presents analytical and numerical investigations of Marangoni interfacial instability in a two-liquid-layer system with constant solute transfer across the interface. While previous research has established that both diffusivity…
With the advent of new media art, artists have harnessed fluid dynamics to create captivating visual narratives. A striking technique known as dendritic painting employs mixtures of ink and isopropanol atop paint, yielding intricate…
Marangoni self-contracted droplets are formed by a mixture of two liquids, one of larger surface tension and larger evaporation rate than the other. Due to evaporation, the droplets contract to a stable contact angle instead of spreading on…
Spreading of liquid thin film driven by surfactant due to the Marangoni effect is described using a coupled system of second-order partial differential equations. Lie group of transformation are used to obtain the symmetries of the given…
The spontaneous motion of liquid droplets on solid surfaces is the result of an unbalanced surface tension force, which is sometimes called the "Marangoni effect". This can be triggered by either a difference in surface temperature or a…
Colloidal crystals exhibit structural color without any color pigment due to the crystals' periodic nanostructure, which can interfere with visible light. This crystal structure is iridescent as the resulting color changes with the viewing…
The evaporation of water/1,2-hexanediol binary drops shows remarkable segregation dynamics, with hexanediol-rich spots forming at the rim, thus breaking axisymmetry. While the segregation of hexanediol near the rim can be attributed to the…
Evaporating salty droplets are ubiquitous in nature, in our home and in the laboratory. Interestingly, the transport processes in such apparently simple systems differ strongly from evaporating "freshwater" droplets since convection is…
