Abstract
A thermomechanical model of continuous media based on second gradient theory has been used to study the motions in liquid-vapor interfaces. In the equilibrium state this model is shown to be fundamentally equivalent to molecular theories. Conservative motions in such fluids verify the first integrals that provide Kelvin’s circulation theorems and potential equations. The dynamic surface tension of a liquid-vapor interface has been deduced from equations written with a viscosity factor. The result provides and explains the Marangoni effect.

Theory of Dynamic Critical Phenomena

TL;DR: The renormalization group theory has been applied to a variety of dynamic critical phenomena, such as the phase separation of a symmetric binary fluid as mentioned in this paper, and it has been shown that it can explain available experimental data at the critical point of pure fluids, and binary mixtures, and at many magnetic phase transitions.

Dynamics of a fluid interface Equation of motion for Newtonian surface fluids

TL;DR: In this article, the authors derived a completely general formulation of the dynamics of a Newtonian fluid interface, that is, one whose rheological behaviour is characterized by its equilibrium interfacial tension and B oussinesq's [18] two coefficients of surface viscosity.
