Anomalous coalescence in sheared two-dimensional foam.
We report an experimental study on shearing a monolayer of monodisperse bubbles floating on liquid in a narrow-gap Couette device. The bubbles in such a "bubble raft" coalesce only if the shear rate exceeds a threshold value. This is in contrast to the conventional wisdom that bubbles and drops coalesce for gentler collisions, at shear rates below a critical value. Furthermore, the threshold sh...
متن کاملBubble kinematics in a sheared foam.
We characterize the kinematics of bubbles in a sheared two-dimensional foam using statistical measures. We consider the distributions of both bubble velocities and displacements. The results are discussed in the context of the expected behavior for a thermal system and simulations of the bubble model. There is general agreement between the experiments and the simulation, but notable differences...

متن کاملMagnetic instability in a sheared azimuthal flow
We study the magneto-rotational instability of an incompressible flow which rotates with angular velocity Ω(r) = a + b/r where r is the radius and a and b are constants. We find that an applied magnetic field destabilises the flow, in agreement with the results of Rüdiger & Zhang (2001). We extend the investigation in the region of parameter space which is Rayleigh stable. We also study the ins...
متن کاملVelocity fluctuations in a steadily sheared model foam.
Numerical simulations are conducted to calculate velocity fluctuations in a simple two-dimensional model of foam under steady shear. The width of the velocity distribution increases sublinearly with the shear rate, indicating that velocity fluctuations are large compared to the average flow at low shear rates (stick-slip flow) and small compared to the average flow at large shear rates. Several...
