The interfacial flow and mass transfer of multicomponent droplets remain an unsolved basic problem, although multicomponent droplets are widely used in droplet microfluidics, fine chemicals. In this paper, Level-set method is used to capture the phase interface, and the evolution of Marangoni convec...
