Modelling the effect of surfactant on droplet breakup in a turbulent flow

In many industrial applications oil drops suspended in water are broken down by turbulent fluid motion, assisted by the addition of surfactants. In this paper, we develop a model for the interaction between droplet breakup and surfactant behaviour in a homogeneous turbulent flow. We derive equations...
