Beer inspires anti-sloshing science - 2014 Gallery of Fluid Motion - APS-DFD 

Why beer does not spill: foam damps Sloshing
Entry V0052 for the 2014 Gallery of Fluid Motion of the APS-DFD conference
Sloshing, i.e. the oscillations of the free surface, is a practical and industrial challenge to liquid transportation. Walking with a beer teaches us that the presence of of foam atop a liquid can damp the sloshing. Our study provides new insights into the science of sloshing by exploring the damping effect of foam in a cells as illustrated in the picture.
