Abstract

The problem of the evolution of a liquid foam is studied by regarding the surfaces separating the cells of the foam as ‘particles’ which have interactions with other such particles according to the well known laws of foam dynamics, i.e. the T1 and T2 processes. This point of view naturally leads to transport equations and the familiar territory of the Boltzmann, Fokker-Planck and Smoluchowski equations. Certain well known results appear very simply from this approach such as Von Neumann's law, but new results appear in that formalism gives transport coefficients in particular shear viscosity.
