Prediction of positive and negative elastic dilatancy in 2D and 3D liquid foams
نویسندگان
چکیده
Liquid foams have been observed to behave like immersed granular materials in at least one respect: deformation tends to raise their liquid contents, a phenomenon called dilatancy. We present a geometrical interpretation thereof in foams squeezed between two solid plates (2D GG foams), which contain pseudo Plateau borders along the plates, and in 3D foams. While experimental observations evidenced the effect of a continuous deformation rate (dynamic dilatancy), the present argument applies primarily to elastic deformation (static dilatancy). We show that the negative dilatancy predicted by Weaire and Hutzler (Phil. Mag. 83 (2003) 2747) at very low liquid fractions is specific to ideal 2D foams and should not be observed in the dry limit of real 2D foams.

The rheology of two-dimensional foams
Why study the rheology of foams? The motivations are widespread and diverse (Weaire and Hutzler 1999). Foams are common in oil extraction and industrial cleaning. Closer to home, an understanding of flowing foams helps to extinguish fires more efficiently and to generate the perfect pint of beer. At low shear-rates a foam behaves as an elastic solid, while at high shearrates it yields like a li...
