Instabilities in liquid foams{

چکیده
Instabilities play a central role in the physics of foams. Some that change the topology of a dry foam are indicated by the laws promulgated by Plateau in his 1873 book. Their occurrence is less clearly predictable in wet foams. Various other instabilities are related to gravitational loading and gas compressibility. We gather up many examples as a guide to future research and identify problems that remain, including what we call pre-emptive instabilities, which occur before they are expected on the basis of Plateau’s laws.

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...
متن کاملDynamic Analysis and Stability of Articulated Liquid Cargo Vehicles with Tank Baffles
Articulated liquid cargo vehicles transporting inflammable fuels and dangerous chemical products require special consideration when traveling on urban roads or cruising at highway speeds. The road safety and handling of these kinds of vehicles may be adversely affected when negotiating sharp turns or travelling on slippery roads, which may result in either lateral instabilities or complete roll...

In this study, at the first stage, the rupture criterion of bubbles wall in Aluminum metal foam liquid was investigated by using Lattice Boltzmann. The two phases modeling were accomplished by using a modified Shan-Chen model. This model was run for several bubbles in A356+3wt.%SiC melt system. Then, bubbles morphologies (virtual metallographic) for A356+3wt.%SiC foams were simulated. Results s...

متن کاملStabilization of liquid foams through the synergistic action of particles and an immiscible liquid.
Liquid foams are familiar from beer, frothed milk, or bubble baths; foams in general also play important roles in oil recovery, lightweight packaging, and insulation. Here a new class of foams is reported, obtained by frothing a suspension of colloidal particles in the presence of a small amount of an immiscible secondary liquid. A unique aspect of these foams, termed capillary foams, is the pa...
