Resumo

Cox, S.J., and Graner, F. (2004) Three-dimensional bubble clusters: shape, packing and growth-rate. Physical review. E, Statistical, nonlinear, and soft matter physics . 69:031409.

We consider three-dimensional clusters of equal-volume bubbles packed around a central bubble and calculate their energy and optimal shape. We obtain the surface area and bubble pressures to improve on existing growth laws for three-dimensional bubble clusters. We discuss the possible number of bubbles that can be packed around a central one: the ?kissing problem,? here adapted to deformable objects.
