Özet

This paper presents some results of an experimental study on foam flow in capillary tubes and synthetic fractures. The foam rheology is determined using capillary tubes of various diameters. Results of the rheological analysis indicate that the bubble size distribution is a function of the foam generation rate and thus the flow rate is a correlating parameter for the shear stress/shear rate relationship.
