5. Optocapillarity: tangential stress at absorbent interfaces

To date, the focus has primarily been on interactions that lead to the development of normal stress at the interface. However, shear stress can be induced by Marangoni-type flows on either side of the interface due to the presence of interfacial tension gradients γ (see  [IN 123] ). These gradients can have two main causes: a concentration gradient...
