This paper reviews the past and recent studies on thermocapillarity in relation to
microfluidics. The role of thermocapillarity as the change of surface tension due to …

A survey is provided of a variety of problems where a passive or an active drop experiences
directed motion consequence of the action of an external or internal agent or a combination …

The motion of a spherical drop with a bulk-insoluble surfactant immersed in a background
flow in the limits of low surface Péclet number and low Reynolds number is investigated. We …

The majority of the previous studies analyzed the flow of fluids with constant viscosity
through membranes composed of porous cylindrical particles using the particle-in-cell …

The motion of a surfactant-laden viscous droplet in the presence of non-isothermal
Poiseuille flow is studied analytically and numerically. Specifically, the focus of the present …

Despite its significance in droplet-based microfluidic technologies with the use of thermal
stimuli and surfactants, coupling effects of thermal-and surfactant-induced Marangoni …

The effect of surface viscosity on the motion of a surfactant-laden droplet in the presence of a
non-isothermal Poiseuille flow is studied, both analytically and numerically. The presence of …

Taxis has been reported in many cells and microorganisms, due to their tendency to migrate
toward favorable physical situations and avoid damage and death. Thermotaxis and …

The motion of a viscous droplet in unbounded Poiseuille flow under the combined influence
of bulk-insoluble surfactant and linearly varying temperature field aligned in the direction of …

The present problem is concerned with an arbitrary transient Stokes flow past a viscous
drop. The interfacial tension gradient is assumed to be dependent on temperature which is …
