Slow viscoelastic relaxation and aging in aqueous foam | | S. Vincent-Bonnieu

5 Dec 2005 | | Subject: | Soft Condensed Matter | | Abstract: | Like emulsions, pastes and many other forms of soft condensed matter, aqueous foams present slow mechanical relaxations when subjected to a stress too small to induce any plastic flow. To identify the physical origin of this viscoelastic behaviour, we have simulated how dry disordered coarsening 2D foams respond to a small applied stress. We show that the mechanism of long time relaxation is driven by coarsening induced rearrangements of small bubble clusters. These findings are in full agreement with a scaling law previously derived from experimental creep data for 3D foams. Moreover, we find that the temporal statistics of coarsening induced bubble rearrangements are described by a Poisson process. | | Source: | arXiv, cond-mat/0512100 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
