Description: This paper reports on an investigation of the influence of the interfacial shear viscosity on the liquid drainage in single Plateau borders of foam. The simplified Navier–Stokes equation governing the liquid flow is solved for the liquid velocity by the numerical computational method. The numerical results show significant influence of the interfacial shear viscosity on the liquid velocity in the Plateau border. Comparison of the numerical results for the average velocity over the cross-section area of the Plateau border to the available analytical solution shows that the available analytical solution underestimates the average velocity. New, simple yet accurate correlations for the dependence of the average velocity on the radius of the cross section of the Plateau border, the pressure gradient, and the interfacial shear viscosity are obtained using the asymptotic analysis and the numerical data.
