Marangoni convection, mass transfer and microgravity

The phenomenon that liquid flows along a gas-liquid or a liquid-liquid interface from areas having low surface tension to areas having higher surface tension is named the Marangoni effect, after an Italian physicist living in the nineteenth century. Solutal Marangoni convection is flow caused by surface tension gradients originating from concentration gradients, while thermocapillarity is flow caused by surface tension gradients originating from temperature gradients. Two types of convection can be distinguished: macroconvection and microconvection. Marangoni flow is labelled macroconvection when the gradient in interfacial tension is imposed on the system by an asymmetry, while flow is labelled microconvection when the flow is caused by a disturbance that is amplified in time (an instability). ...
