title: Two-dimensional viscous froth model for foam dynamics.
abstract: The two-dimensional viscous froth model is a simple tractable model for foam rheology and coarsening. It includes, but is not confined to, the quasistatic regime. Here we present a detailed analysis and implementation of the model, illustrated with various examples. With certain simplifying assumptions, it provides significant insight into strain-rate-dependent effects in foam rheology and elsewhere, particularly in relation to recent experiments.
