Abstract
Experiments on two-dimensional soap froth under temperature ramping ha
ve been performed. At constant temperatures, the classical linear depe
ndence of the averaged cell area with time is observed at different te
mperatures. The rate of change of area depends sensitively on temperat
ure. For froths under constant temperature ramping, in contrast to the
classical results, a quadratic evolution of the average cell area is
observed. This can be explained by a linear dependence of the diffusio
n rate on temperature.
