Dynamics of Surfactants Spreading on Gel-like Materials: Cracking and Pattern Formation

preprint2010arXivOpen access

Abstract

We study the dynamics of surfactants spreading on gels, paying particular attention to the pattern formation accompanying the flow. The latter results from gel-cracking, promoted by Marangoni stresses, and resemble starbursts.
