Surfactant-loaded capsules as marangoni microswimmers at the air-water interface: symmetry breaking and spontaneous propulsion by surfactant diffusion and advection

HIGHLIGHTS

  • who: Hendrik Ender from the Department of Physics, Technische Universität Dortmund, Dortmund, Germany have published the paper: Surfactant-loaded capsules as Marangoni microswimmers at the air-water interface: Symmetry breaking and spontaneous propulsion by surfactant diffusion and advection, in the Journal: Eur. Phys. J. E (2021) 44 :21 of /2021/
  • what: The authors develop a theory of boat propulsion starting from low Reynolds numbers by analyzing the coupled problems of diffusion and advection and fluid flow which includes surfactant-induced fluid flow and adsorption at the air-water interface; the authors also include a . . .
