22. Previous work on the persistence decay of froths found θ′(0) = 1.16 ± 0.02 [11] by fitting the average of all of the single bubble decay curves. The resulting fit error is a significant underestimate. In this paper we extract error bars directly from the variances between different decay curves. For example, we directly measure θ′(0) = 1.38 ± 0.11, as shown in fig. 1. [21] HERDTLE T. and AREF H., J. Fluid Mech., 241 (1992) 233.
