Modelling surfactant systems out of thermodynamic equlibrium

We develop and explore a simple mathematical model describing the behavior of surfactants in situations where molecules adsorbed at an air-liquid interface are not in thermodynamic equilibrium with those just below the surface. Our model incorporates a gradient flow which links the flux of molecules...
