摘要：

The equilibrium energies of two-dimensional noncoarsening fluid foams are studied. The foams consist of bubbles with fixed areas. The equilibrium stages corresponds to local minima. A theoretical derivation of energy minima is presented. Monte Carlo simulations using the extended large-Q Potts model are presented. Physical insight and an electronic analogy is developed for a dry foam with small size variance. It helps to find an approximate value of the global minimum perimeter.
