Non-equilibrium interface equations: An application to thermo-capillary motion in binary systems
Abstract
Interface equations are derived for both binary diffusive and binary fluid systems subjected to non-equilibrium conditions, starting from the coarse-grained (mesoscopic) models. The equations are used to describe thermo-capillary motion of a droplet in both purely diffusive and fluid cases, and the results are compared with numerical simulations. A mesoscopic chemical potential shift, owing to the temperature gradient, and associated mesoscopic corrections involved in droplet motion are elucidated.
