    • Marangoni Flowers and the Evil Eye: Overhead Presentations of Marangoni Flow

      Donald W. Mundell
      Journal of Chemical Education2009 86 (7), 833

      Intermolecular forces and surface tension gradients in solutions lead to remarkable flows, known as Marangoni flows, where liquid flows from a region of low surface tension towards higher surface tension. Details of these flows, not visible to the naked ...
