Non isobaric boundary layers related to Marangoni flows
The paper deals with the dissipative layers, called Marangoni boundary layers, that can be formed, along the interface of two immiscible fluids, in surface driven flows. Under the hypothesis that the flow fields of the two interfacing fluids are uncoupled, similar solutions are studied for the case in which an external pressure gradient is present. The similarity class is derived and the pertinent equations are solved numerically by mean of an algorithm based on a quasi-linearization technique.
