TLDR
In this article, the authors numerically studied the flow within and around an evaporating sessile drop and showed that buoyancy induced flow in gas phase weakly influences thermo-capillarity-induced flow in the liquid phase, which can strongly modify the temperature distribution at liquid-gas interface and thus the overall evaporation rate of the drop when the substrate is heated.Abstract:
The sessile drop evaporation is a phenomena which is extensively studied in the literature, but the governing effects are far from being well understood especially those involving movements taking place in both liquid and gas phases. The present work numerically studies the flow within and around an evaporating sessile drop. The flow is induced by the strong mass loss at contact line, the thermo-capillary effect and the buoyancy effect in the surrounding air. The results showed that buoyancy-induced flow in gas phase weakly influences thermo-capillarity-induced flow in the liquid phase. Buoyancy effect can strongly modify the temperature distribution at liquid-gas interface and thus the overall evaporation rate of the drop when the substrate is heated.read more

Density-Driven Flows in Evaporating Binary Liquid Droplets.
TL;DR: It is reported, through the first use of rotating optical coherence tomography, that a change in the flow pattern and speed occurs when evaporating binary liquid droplets are tilted, conclusively showing that gravitational effects dominate the flow.

Vapor mediated control of microscale flow in sessile droplets
TL;DR: In this paper, a highly volatile ethanol droplet is positioned asymmetrically on the air-water interface creating a gradient in surface tension, which causes an internal Marangoni convection with flow rates ∼O (103) times higher than a naturally evaporating water droplet.

Coupling between wetting dynamics, Marangoni vortices, and localized hot cells in drops of volatile binary solutions.
TL;DR: It is indicated that both the solutal Marangoni flow and evaporation drive the different phenomena observed, and the connection between Marangoner vortices and the formation of localized hot cells is confirmed.

Inner and outer flow of an adhering droplet in shear flow
TL;DR: In this paper , the inner and outer flow structures of an adhering droplet in shear flow were investigated using particle-image velocimetry (PIV) and a modified laser-doppler-velocimeter (LDA) profile sensor, respectively.

Drop evaporation on solid surfaces: constant contact angle mode
TL;DR: There are two pure modes of evaporation of liquid drops on surfaces: (1) constant contact area and (2) at constant contact angle as discussed by the authors, which is the dominating mode for liquid drops.
