Thickness profiles of giant soap films
Marina Pasquet, Frédéric Restagno, Isabelle Cantat +1
Production, drainage and stability of foams films, i.e. films in contact with their menisci, are fascinating problems that remain still unsolved. In this article, we propose to exp…
Local origin of the visco-elasticity of a millimetric elementary foam
Adrien Bussonnière, Isabelle Cantat
Liquid foam exhibits surprisingly high viscosity, higher than each of its phases. This dissipation enhancement has been rationalized by invoking either a geometrical confinement of…
Dynamical coupling between connected foam films by interface transfer across the menisci
Adrien Bussonnière, Evgenia Shabalina, Xavier Ah-Thon +2
The highly confined flow of the liquid phase, trapped between the gas bubbles, is at the origin of the large effective viscosity of the liquid foams. Despite the industrial relevan…
Marangoni stress induced by rotation frustration in a liquid foam
Bérut Antoine, Cantat Isabelle
The role of surface tension gradients in the apparent viscosity of liquid foams remains largely unexplained. In this article, we develop a toy-model based on a periodic array of 2D…
Extension of a suspended soap film: A homogeneous dilatation followed by new film extraction
Jacopo Seiwert, Martin Monloubou, Benjamin Dollet +1
Liquid foams are widely used in industry for their high effective viscosity, whose local origin is still unclear. This Letter presents new results on the extension of a suspended s…
Liquid meniscus friction on a wet plate: Bubbles, lamellae and foams
Isabelle Cantat
Many microfluidics devices, coating processes or diphasic flows involve the motion of a liquid meniscus on a wet wall. This motion induces a specific viscous force, that exhibits a…
