Hysteresis and Avalanches in Two Dimensional Foam Rheology Simulations

arXiv:cond-mat/9902111 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.59.5819

Abstract

Foams have unique rheological properties that range from solid-like to fluid-like. We study two-dimensional non-coarsening foams of different disorder under shear in a Monte Carlo simulation, using a driven large-Q Potts model. We find that the dynamics of topological rearrangements depend sensitively on the structural disorder.
