Abstract
Gas diffusion in foam through the liquid film that separates bubbles due to the capillary pressure difference in different-size bubbles is considered. The system of integral equations is obtained which determines the interdependent bubble size variation. The process is numerically modeled, which shows that gas exchange is important in the foam destruction process.
