Viscous Froth Model Applied to the Motion and Topological Transformations of Two-Dimensional Bubbles in a Channel: Three-Bubble Case
Proceedings Mathematical, physical, and engineering sciences(2022)
摘要
The viscous froth model is used to predict rheological behaviour of a two-dimensional (2D) liquid-foam system. The model incorporates three physical phenomena: the viscous drag force, the pressure difference across foam films and the surface tension acting along them with curvature. In the so-called infinite staircase structure, the system does not undergo topological bubble neighbour-exchange transformations for any imposed driving back pressure. Bubbles then flow out of the channel of transport in the same order in which they entered it. By contrast, in a simple single bubble staircase or so-called lens system, topological transformations do occur for high enough imposed back pressures. The three-bubble case interpolates between the infinite staircase and simple staircase/lens. To determine at which driving pressures and at which velocities topological transformations might occur, and how the bubble areas influence their occurrence, steady-state propagating three-bubble solutions are obtained for a range of bubble sizes and imposed back pressures. As an imposed back pressure increases quasi-statically from equilibrium, complex dynamics are exhibited as the systems undergo either topological transformations, reach saddle-node bifurcation points, or asymptote to a geometrically invariant structure which ceases to change as the back pressure is further increased.
