Solitary Structures Sustained by Marangoni Flow
We construct interfacial solitary structures (spots) generated by a bistable chemical reaction or a non-equilibrium phase transition in a surfactant film. The structures are stabilized by Marangoni flow that prevents the spread of a state with a higher surface tension when it is dynamically favorable. In a system without surfactant mass conservation, a unique radius of a solitary spot exists wi...
متن کاملSolitary coherent structures in viscoelastic shear flow: computation and mechanism.
Starting from stationary bifurcations in Couette-Dean flow, we compute nontrivial stationary solutions in inertialess viscoelastic circular Couette flow. These solutions are strongly localized vortex pairs, exist at arbitrarily large wavelengths, and show hysteresis in the Weissenberg number, similar to experimentally observed "diwhirl" patterns. Based on the computed velocity and stress fields...
متن کاملMarangoni-driven singularities via mean-curvature flow
In this work, it is demonstrated that the existence and topology of the recently observed interfacial singularities driven by Marangoni effects can be deduced using mean-curvature flow theory extended to account for variations of interfacial tension. This suggests that some of the physical mechanisms underlying the formation of these interfacial singularities may originate from/be modeled by th...
متن کاملSelf-sustained localized structures in a boundary-layer flow.
When a boundary layer starts to develop spatially over a flat plate, only disturbances of sufficiently large amplitude survive and trigger turbulence subcritically. Direct numerical simulation of the Blasius boundary-layer flow is carried out to track the dynamics in the region of phase space separating transitional from relaminarizing trajectories. In this intermediate regime, the correspondin...
متن کاملCascade of structures in long-wavelength Marangoni instability
The long-wavelength instability for thermocapillary-driven convection in two dimensions is studied numerically. The system under consideration consists of a horizontal periodical liquid layer bounded from below by a rigid wall and from above by a deformable free surface. The liquid is heated from the bottom wall and cooled from above. The problem can be approximated by the Stokes equation and h...
