We model a reaction-diffusion-convection system which comprises a liquid drop containing solutes that undergo an Oregonator reaction producing chemical waves. The reactants are taken to have surfactant properties so that the variation in their concentrations induces Marangoni flows at the drop interface which lead to a displacement of the drop. We discuss the mechanism by which the chemical-mechanical coupling leads to drop motion and the way in which the net displacement of the drop depends on the strength of the surfactant action. The equations of motion are solved using a lattice Boltzmann approach.
