摘要
We have developed a computational simulation of the two-dimensional soap froth, including finite Plateau borders. As the gas fraction phi is decreased, there is a loss of rigidity at approximately phi = 0.84, at which point the structure is that of a dense random packing of hard discs with contact number equal to four. This result and the general properties of the system are further illuminated by various elementary models and analogies.
