Abstract
A Boundary Integral Method (BIM) for simulation of foam formation and dynamics in viscous flows is presented. The main features of the numerical method are: Nonsingular contour integration of the singular single layer potential; Higher order approximation of the interface positions and the distance between the interfaces; Dynamic mesh regularization. Presented are also results of foam-drop formation and its dynamic behavior in a viscous flow. They demonstrate the ability of the presented numerical method for simulation of polydisperse foam dynamics as well as dynamics of drops at very close distance.
This work was supported by the Dutch Polymer Institute.
