In 10th Liquid Matter Conference, Ljubljana Slovenia, 2017.http://hdl.handle.net/10400.21/7513• In confined foams there exist wall Plateau borders (PBs), or menisci, where the films meet the confining substrates. • What is the shape of a PB of a given size on a surface of a given wettability (i.e., contact angle θc)? Can that surface support a foam? • This is important for firefighting foams, containers for foamy foodstuffs, etc • We solve the Young-Laplace equation with gravity for a planar film spanning a gap between two horizontal, flat substrates, to predict the shape of the PBs. • Validate results by comparing with Surface Evolver and experimental dataengFoam-phobicconference object
