class AdsorbingSurfactantEquation():
    r"""

    The `AdsorbingSurfactantEquation` object solves the
    `SurfactantEquation` but with an adsorbing species from some bulk
    value. The equation that describes the surfactant adsorbing is
    given by,

    .. math::

       \dot{\theta} = J v \theta + k c (1 - \theta - \theta_{\text{other}}) - \theta c_{\text{other}} k_{\text{other}} - k^- \theta

    where :math:`\theta`, :math:`J`, :math:`v`, :math:`k`, :math:`c`,
    :math:`k^-` and :math:`n` represent the surfactant coverage, the curvature,
    the interface normal velocity, the adsorption rate, the concentration in the
    bulk at the interface, the consumption rate and an exponent of consumption,
    respectively. The :math:`\text{other}` subscript refers to another
    surfactant with greater surface affinity.

    The terms on the RHS of the above equation represent conservation of
    surfactant on a non-uniform surface, Langmuir adsorption, removal of
    surfactant due to adsorption of the other surfactant onto non-vacant sites
    and consumption of the surfactant respectively. The adsorption term is added
    to the source by setting :math:` S_c = k c (1 - \theta_{\text{other}})` and
    :math:`S_p = -k c`. The other terms are added to the source in a similar
    way.

    The following is a test case:
