Summary on Grant Application Form
1. Investigate the formation, volume fraction and stability in oil systems. 2. Quantify the effects of water oil and wax on foam fraction and stability. 3. Study the dynamics of foam coalescence. 4. Develop a model to describe foam breakdown as a potential test for base equipment design in systems in which foam is important.
