Abstract
Interface equations are derived for both binary diffusive and binary f luid systems subjected to nonequilibrium conditions, starting from coa rse-grained (mesoscopic) models. The equations are used to describe th ermocapillary motion of a droplet in both purely diffusive and fluid c ases, and the results are compared with numerical simulations. A mesos copic chemical potential shift owing to the temperature gradient, and associated mesoscopic corrections involved in droplet motion, are eluc idated.
