The mathematics of foam

The aim of this thesis is to derive and solve mathematical models for the flow of liquid in a foam. A primary concern is to investigate how so-called `Marangoni stresses' (i.e. surface tension gradients), generated for example by the presence of a surfactant, act to stabilise a foam. We aim to...
