Abstract
An experimental study of the temporal evolution of two-dimensional drained soap froths is presented. The long-time behavior of the froth shows a linear dependence of the average bubble area on time. By keeping nearly constant and thin plateau borders at all times, deviations from 120° in the angle between adjacent films at a vertex are not observed. In addition, evidence of dynamical scaling of area distributions is presented.Keywords
