The Planar Soap Bubble Problem with Six Equal Pressure Regions
نویسندگان
چکیده
The planar soap bubble problem is the mathematically analogous problem in two dimensions to search for the least-perimeter way to enclose and separate regions R1, . . . , Rm of given areas A1, . . . , Am on the plane. In this work, we study the possible configurations for perimeter minimizing enclosures for more than three regions. In particular, we focus on the case of equal pressure regions. For four and five regions, in 2007, we proved that a perimeter minimizing enclosure with equal pressure regions and without empty chambers must have connected regions. In this paper, we show that for six equal pressure regions, the solutions must have connected regions.

Some recent developments in the theory of minimal surfaces
I suspect that each person can recall some moments from his childhood when he was captived by the beauty of soap bubbles. Their form can be truly marvelous. As adults, we do not tend to stare at soap bubble clusters in amazement, but as a professional mathematician, it happens that once one begins their study, one can remain seduced for a lifetime. My first contact with minimal surfaces happene...

Experiments studying the compression and unstable growth of an argon bubble in a nitrogen environment, subjected to planar shock wave (1.32 ≤ M < 4) are performed in a vertical shock tube of square internal cross section. In parallel with laboratory experiments, a computational investigation is carried out with the multi-fluid compressible hydrodynamics code raptor, using adaptive mesh refineme...
متن کاملPlasma Wave Acceleration of Electron in Bubble Regime in Presence of a Planar Wiggler
The plasma wave acceleration of electron in the bubble regime is investigated in a new configuration containing a planar wiggler. The space-charge field of the laser-created ion channel can focuse and stabilize the electron trajectory to guide it toward the acceleration region. The high-gradient plasma wave field can resonantly accelerate the trapped electron to higher energies in the presence ...

متن کاملCARBON DIOXIDE MINIMUM MISCIBILITY PRESSURE ESTIMATION (CASE STUDY)
Carbon dioxide flooding is considered to be one of the most effective enhanced oil recovery methods for the light oil reservoirs. Depending on the operating pressure, the process might be miscible or immiscible. Minimum miscibility pressure (MMP) is the most important parameter for assessing the applicability of any miscible gas flood for an oil reservoir. The miscibility condition is determine...
