Shape Distribution of Two-Dimensional Soap Froths

In the two-dimensional soap froths, made in the narrow space between two parallel glass plates, thin soap films partition the space into polygonal cells. The probability of occurrence of n-sided polygons (3 ≤n≤12) is calculated from two models, using the technique previously developed by the author...

Description
Summary:In the two-dimensional soap froths, made in the narrow space between two parallel glass plates, thin soap films partition the space into polygonal cells. The probability of occurrence of n-sided polygons (3 ≤n≤12) is calculated from two models, using the technique previously developed by the author for cooperative phenomena. The theory explains the observations semiquantitatively.
