In studies on Marangoni type motion of particles the surface tension is often approximated as a linear function of temperature. For deformable particles in a linear external temperature gradient far from the reference point this approximation yields a negative surface tension which is physically unrealistic. It is shown that H.Zhou and R.H.Davis J. Colloid Interface Sci., n.181,60,1996 presented calculation where the leading deformable drop moved into a region of negative surface tension. With respect numerical studies the restriction of the migration of two deformable drops is given in terms of the drift time.
