This thesis delves into the dynamics of aqueous foams, essential in varied fields such as cosmetics and oil recovery. It explores how soap-like substances (surfactants) and their varying amounts affect foam's flow, specifically through a process where differences in surface tension drive motion (Marangoni flow). Studies include how these flows behave under different conditions, such as UV light exposure. The findings enhance our understanding of foam dynamics, enabling better control in industrial applications. This could lead to more efficient processes in the production and use of foams, benefiting economic and environmental aspects of these industries.
