Foam physics

Foam physics studies how foam behaves and interacts based on its structure. Foam consists of gas pockets trapped within a liquid or solid matrix. Surface tension at the interfaces causes bubbles to shape and arrange themselves, balancing forces like pressure differences and elasticity. Factors like bubble size, liquid content, and external forces influence properties like stability, flow, and deformation. Understanding foam physics helps optimize applications in industries such as firefighting, materials, and food, by predicting how foams form, persist, or collapse under different conditions while considering the fundamental physical principles governing their behavior.
