In this paper, we investigate the exact solutions of the generalized time fractional foam drainage equation. The Lie-group scaling transformation method and improved [Formula: see text]-expansion method are adopted here. The equation describes the evolution of the vertical density profile of a foam under gravity. New exact solutions and maple diagrams of the generalized time fractional foam drainage equation can help us better understand the physical phenomena.

A model system for theory and experiment which is relevant to foam fractionation consists of a column of foam moving through an inverted U-tube between two pools of surfactant solution. The foam drainage equation is used for a detailed theoretical analysis of this process. In a previous paper, we focused on the case where the lengths of the two legs are large. In this work, we examine the approach to the limiting case (i.e. the effects of finite leg lengths) and how it affects the performance of the fractionation column. We also briefly discuss some alternative set-ups that are of interest in industry and experiment, with numerical and analytical results to support them. Our analysis is shown to be generally applicable to a range of fractionation columns.

A model system for theory and experiment that is relevant to foam fractionation consists of a column of foam moving through an inverted U-tube between two pools of surfactant solution. The foam drainage equation and its variants are used for a theoretical analysis of this process. In the limit in which the lengths of the two legs is large , exact analytic formulae may be derived for the key properties of the system. Numerical computations and experiments support these results.
