We present simulations that show that the equilibrium structure of an ideal two-dimensional foam with a finite contact angle develops an inhomogeneity for high liquid fraction ϕ. In liquid–liquid emulsions this inhomogeneity is known as flocculation. In the case of an ordered foam this requires a perturbation, but in a disordered foam inhomogeneity grows steadily and spontaneously with ϕ, as demonstrated in our simulations performed with the Surface Evolver.

具有有限接触角的理想湿二维泡沫和乳液†

我们提供的模拟结果表明，具有有限接触角的理想二维泡沫的平衡结构对高液体分数develop产生了不均匀性。在液-液乳液中，这种不均匀性称为絮凝。在有序泡沫的情况下，这需要扰动，但在无序泡沫中，ϕ会稳定且自发地增长，如我们在Surface Evolver进行的模拟中所示。
