Interfacial dynamics driven by Marangoni stresses on a slowly moving liquid film

Differential surface tension is a common phenomenon in many chemical and biomedical processes. Localised surface tension gradients due to differential surface loading in thin films give rise to a moving shock front in the direction of higher surface tension. Existence of a background flow enhances t...
