Electrokinetic phenomena in liquid foam media are at a junction between two well-developed fields. On the one side is the study of liquid foam drainage, which is well documented, and on the other side is electrokinetics of surface driven flow on solid-liquid interfaces, which is equally well understood. However, electrokinetic phenomena in foams with deformable air-liquid interfaces have gained significant attention only recently. In pursuit of understanding electrokinetics of foams, the model systems adopted by investigators can be summarised as: (i) free liquid films; (ii) flow cells (iii) a single bubble sandwiched between two electrodes; (iv) foam column and (v) numerical simulations. A new experimental approach for system monitoring and visualisation is proposed for foam electrokinetics. The results obtained from preliminary experiments are compared with the numerical simulations performed using Finite Element Method. The model predictions closely agree with the experimental data validating the model.

液体泡沫介质中的电动现象在两个发达的场之间的交界处。一方面是对液体泡沫排放的研究，已有充分的文献证明，另一方面是对固-液界面上的表面驱动流的电动学的研究，这一点也得到了很好的理解。但是，具有可变形气液界面的泡沫中的电动现象直到最近才引起人们的广泛关注。为了理解泡沫的电动学，研究人员采用的模型系统可以概括为：（i）游离液膜；（ii）流通池（iii）夹在两个电极之间的单个气泡；（iv）泡沫柱和（v）数值模拟。提出了一种用于泡沫动力学的系统监测和可视化的新实验方法。将初步实验获得的结果与使用有限元方法进行的数值模拟进行比较。模型预测与验证模型的实验数据非常吻合。
