General Outline
• Questions raised/addressed in this talk
• Overview of the system
• Initial results
Two Questions
• What is the average flow behavior of slowly sheared bubble raft? (How does this relate to flow of foams?)
• What is the connection between average flow behavior and individual bubble motions?
General properties
• Fluctuations in stress/energy.
• “Particle” rearrangements (T1 events, non-affine motions)
• Non-uniform shear
• Diffusive motion of “particles”.
Two “types” of non-uniform shear
Non-uniform shear: region of non-zero and zero shear rate coexist
1) strain rate is continuous (usually exponential velocity).
2) strain rate is discontinuous.
“Two-dimensional” foam

Three dimensional suspension

Definition of Terms

Reminder of Geometry Consequences
• Couette Geometry: average stress, , proportional to 1/r2
• Yield stress, y:
=> critical radius beyond which “rigid” body or elastic behavior, strain rate is a continuous function of r.

V(r)/r = 1 => rigid body rotation.
Fit is to vel. profile for a power law viscosity.
Some Questions
• What sets the “critical” radius?• Why is strain rate discontinuous?
Consider “flow” during individual events and T1 events.
• What is the role of stress chains, if they exist?

Summary
• Apparent disagreement between average stress measurements and average velocity profile: strain-rate discontinuity needs to be understood.
• Connection between T1 events and short time bubble motions. Not clear the connection between T1 events and average velocity.
• Time averages rapidly converge despite very nonlinear short time motion.
