✦ Synopsis

The instability of a meniscus due to a Marangoni flow is investigated in the case of a mixture of two liquids of different volatility and surface tension. We propose a theoretical description of this behavior which predicts the wavelength of the instability, in agreement with the experiments of Vuilleumier et al. performed with ethanol-water mixtures and for isooctane-decane solutions.

When a dilute colloidal suspension of 50-µm polyamide particles is exposed to a deformable interface, spontaneous flow occurs. This flow is orderly, reproducible, and shows a proportional dependence on particle concentration. The same type of flow was also observed in a silicon oil suspension. Placi

A model for Marangoni flows that we observed on plane free surfaces of thin layers of aqueous fatty alcohol solutions is developed by considering evaporation-condensation of alcohol. The velocities of surface-tension-driven flows caused by gradients in temperature and in concentration are evaluated
