3D simulations of wet foam coarsening evidence a self similar growth regime
Gilberto L. Thomas, Julio M. Belmonte, François Graner +2
In wet liquid foams, slow diffusion of gas through bubble walls changes bubble pressure, volume and wall curvature. Large bubbles grow at the expenses of smaller ones. The smaller…
Growth laws and self-similar growth regimes of coarsening two-dimensional foams: Transition from dry to wet limits
Ismael Fortuna, Gilberto L. Thomas, Rita M. C. de Almeida +1
We study the topology and geometry of two dimensional coarsening foams with arbitrary liquid fraction. To interpolate between the dry limit described by von Neumann's law, and the…
Simulations of viscous shape relaxation in shuffled foam clusters
Gilberto L. Thomas, Jose C. M. Mombach, Marco Idiart +2
We simulate the shape relaxation of foam clusters and compare them with the time exponential expected for Newtonian fluid. Using two-dimensional Potts Model simulations, we artific…
Rounding of aggregates of biological cells: Experiments and simulations
José C. M. Mombach, Damien Robert, François Graner +4
The influence of surface tension and size on rounding of cell aggregates are studied using chick embryonic cells and numerical simulations based on the cellular Potts model. Our re…
