Simulations of quasi-static foam flow through a diverging-converging channel

Abstract

This is the author accepted manuscript. The final version is available from Springer Verlag via http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s13367-016-0018-3Numerical simulations of foam flow in narrow channels are described. The fields of velocity, strain, and stress are predicted for the slow flow of a dry two-dimensional foam through a diverging-converging channel. Two different bubble area dispersities are simulated, and the effects of crystallisation in the monodisperse case described.authorsversionPeer reviewe
