摘要
The temporal evolution of two-dimensional soap froth, starting from a particular initial state, is studied. The initial state is a hexagonal array of bubbles in which a single defect is introduced. A cluster of transformed bubbles grows; the time dependence of the number of bubbles in this cluster is investigated and the distribution of the topological classes in the evolving part of the system is calculated. This distribution appears to approach a fixed limiting one, which differs from that obtained for the usual scaling state of the froth.
