Numerical simulations of a rising drop with shape oscillations in the presence of surfactants
Year: 2018
Type: article
Abstract: Shape-oscillating droplets rising in a liquid are simulated with insoluble surfactants adsorbed at their interface. Conditions are reported in which the average surface tension gradient induces a significant decrease of the rise velocity but does not impact the oscillation dynamics.
