Abstract
AbstractFoam exists in several food and chemical processes. It often delays, contaminates, and obstructs the industrial process, which affects the product's quality and safety. Liquid drainage in foam is one of the most influencing physical phenomena impacting its behavior, and is characterized by its short time scales. The lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) is applied to develop a consistent method for evaluating the permeability of different foam structures, while considering the non‐Newtonian behavior of its liquid lamella. Foam drainage for non‐Newtonian fluids is not well understood and established in literature. Different geometrical and liquid parameters are thus considered and analyzed, in order to generate a map for the foam permeability.
