  "abstract": "Liquid interfaces appear throughout nature and engineering and are typically contaminated by surface active agents (surfactants), which are characterized by a wide range of solubility. We demonstrate that solubility enhances by an order of magnitude surfactant-induced flow in air-liquid-air films, in contrast to previously studied geometries where solubility dampens the flow. The enhancement is described by a single parameter comparing the depletion length to the film thickness. Our experiments are well described by an asymptotic theory of the Navier-Stokes equations with surfactant kinetics.",
