Recent advances in the coalescence in liquid foams are reviewed, with a special focus on
the multiscale structure of foams. Studies concerning the stability of isolated foam films, on …

We depict and analyse the complete evolution of an air bubble formed in a water bulk, from
the time it emerges at the liquid surface, up to its fragmentation into dispersed drops. To this …

An antibubble is a liquid droplet wrapped by a thin layer of gas, inside a bulk liquid usually
of the same composition. The lifetime of an antibubble is governed by the drainage of the …

Thin liquid films are ubiquitous in nature and technology so an understanding of their
mechanics is important in many applications. A typical thin film flow consists of an expanse …

Failure of a liquid coating to remain continuous on a substrate that exhibits a significant
equilibrium contact angle is a common occurrence in industrial applications. The term …

We study the drainage of the precorneal tear film in humans. A fluid dynamic model for the
drainage of the aqueous layer is developed that includes the effects of evaporation and …

Previous research on animations of soap bubbles, films, and foams largely focuses on the
motion and geometric shape of the bubble surface. These works neglect the evolution of the …

The behavior of thin liquid films is known to be strongly affected by the presence of
surfactants at the interfaces. The detailed mechanism by which the latter enhance film …

Using mixtures of soap, water, and long-chain polymers, free-floating soap bubbles can be
formed with volumes approaching 100 m 3. Here we investigate how such thin films are …

Introduction. McDonald and Brubaker observed that after instillation of fluorescein, dark lines
appear near the upper and lower lid margins of the human eye immediately following a …
