Surfactant-laden liquid threads

We have modelled the dynamic of infinite liquid threads with insoluble surfactants. The modelling also consider the advection of surfactang among the boundary and the Marangoni stresses. Under no external forcing, it breaks due to surface tension and the characteristic wavelength, time to pinch-off and formation of satellite droplets are modified by the presence of surfactants.
