Abstract

Rupture of an individual film in an evolving liquid metal foam is investigated by means of high-speed x-ray radioscopy using white synchrotron radiation. At a frame rate of 5000frames∕s, the rupture event is spread over three to four images. The images show that the remnants of the rupturing film are pulled into the surrounding plateau borders in 600±100μs which conforms well with a liquid movement governed by inertia and not by viscosity. Within one order of magnitude, the viscosity of the liquid involved must be similar to the viscosity of pure liquid aluminium.
