Abstract
The analogy between magnetic froth (cellular domain patterns in garnet films) and the two-dimensional soap froth is used to develop an elementary model for the former system. Simulations are performed using this model: they have many features in common with recent experimental results and can be further illuminated by simple calculations in the spirit of mean-field theory. An analysis of topological cell statistics is also presented.Keywords
