Abstract

We conduct numerical simulations on a simple model of a two-dimensional steady-state sheared foam, and define a quantity G that measures stress fluctuations in the constant-area system. This quantity reduces to the temperature in an equilibrium system. We find that the relation between the viscosity and G is the same as that between viscosity and temperature in a very different system, namely a supercooled liquid. This is the first evidence of a common phenomenon linking these two systems.
