Computation of Equilibrium Bilayer Monodisperse Foam Structures Using the Surface Evolver

Abstract The Surface Evolver is used to minimize the surface energy of two ordered structures for bilayer monodisperse wet foams with arbitrary liquid fraction. Previous researchers have found a reversible structural transition in bilayer monodisperse foams by changing the foam liquid fraction in a...
