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

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.
