Cover Story: Numerical simulations of contaminated spherical drops falling through a stagnant liquid at low Reynolds numbers are carried out. The results are used to describe the behavior of the surfactant concentrations and to understand the surfactant effects on the fluid motions in detail, e.g., peaks appear in the predicted Marangoni stresses near the stagnant-cap angle, which causes similar peaks in the pressure distribution, and high-pressure spots prevent fluid motion along the interface, which results in the formation of the stagnant-cap region and the attenuation of the tangential velocity in the continuous phase. View this paper.

Large-scale, ordered magnetic fields in several astrophysical sources are supposed to be originated, and maintained against dissipation, by the combined amplifying action of rotation and small-scale turbulence. For instance, in the solar interior, th...
