Abstract:
We
present
an
extended
analysis
of
the
Z
-cone
model
for
the
estimation
of
the
energy
of
an
ordered
foam.
In
particular,
we
show
that
it
results
in
an
interaction
potential
with
an
exponent
consistent
with
those
previously
reported,
as
well
as
an
equilibrium
liquid
fraction
profile
under
gravity
consistent
with
those
experimentally
observed
in
ordered
foams.
We
also
extend
the
model
to
deal
with
curved
interfaces,
as
a
first
step
to
modelling
ordered
bidisperse
foams
