text: Previous research on animations of soap bubbles, films, and foams largely
focuses on the motion and geometric shape of the bubble surface. These works neglect
the evolution of the bubble’s thickness, which is normally responsible for visual
phenomena like surface vortices, Newton’s interference patterns, capillary waves,
and deformation-dependent rupturing of films in a foam. In this paper, we model
these natural phenomena by introducing the film thickness as a reduced degree
of freedom in the Navier-Stokes equations and deriving their equations of motion.
We discretize the equations on a nonmanifold triangle mesh surface and couple
it to an existing bubble solver. In doing so, we also introduce an incompressible
fluid solver for 2.5D films and a novel advection algorithm for convecting fields
across non-manifold surface junctions. Our simulations enhance state-of-the-art
bubble solvers with additional effects caused by convection, rippling, draining,
and evaporation of the thin film.
