Title: Hydrodynamic signatures of stationary Marangoni-driven surfactant transport,
Abstract: We experimentally study steady Marangoni-driven surfactant transport on the
interface of a deep water layer. Using hydrodynamic measurements, and without
using any knowledge of the surfactant physico-chemical properties, we show that
sodium dodecyl sulphate and Tergitol 15-S-9 introduced in low concentrations
result in a flow driven by adsorbed surfactant. At higher surfactant
concentration, the flow is dominated by the dissolved surfactant. Using
Camphoric acid, whose properties are {\it a priori} unknown, we demonstrate
this method's efficacy by showing its spreading is adsorption dominated.
