Abstract

We have computed in 3-dimensional foams the influence of interfacial rheology on the macroscopic foam viscoelasticity. We show that the two interfacial moduli play different roles. The dilational viscosity is not at all additive to the macroscopic modulus, while both the interfacial shear viscosity and the internal phase modulus are nearly additive. The dilational viscosity is shunted by a grid mode at high frequency. The calculations are done in a selfconsistent effective medium approximation.
