Abstract
Some aspects of the Marangoni effect actinng on fluid-fluid interfaces are discu ssed. Origin of the Marangoni effect are classed into three types, namely, thermal, solutal, and yet unfamil iar surfactant monolayer related ones. Upon the thermally induced Marangoni effect, the followings are briefly discussed, 1) stability of two-fluid layers encountered with both the Rayleigh and the Marangoni effects , 2) thermocapillary effect on the characteristics of CZ single crystal puller. On the solutally induced Marangoni effect.condition for the onset of interfacial turbulence during interphacial mass transfer of surface active solutes are discussed. Finally, surface acceleration and stagnation phenomena observed on surface of surfactant solution are described relating to the contamination effect.
