From diffusive mass transfer in Stokes flow to low Reynolds number Marangoni boats

ABSTRACT: We present a theory for the self-propulsion of symmetric, half-spherical Marangoni boats (soap or camphor boats) at low Reynolds numbers. Propulsion is generated by release (diffusive emission or dissolution) of water-soluble surfactant molecules, which modulate the air–water interfacial t...
