We present simulations that show that the equilibrium structure of an ideal two-dimensional foam with a finite contact angle develops an inhomogeneity for high liquid fraction φ. In liquid-liquid emulsions this inhomogeneity is known as flocculation. In the case of an ordered foam this requires a perturbation, but in a disordered foam inhomogeneity grows steadily and spontaneously with φ, as demonstrated in our simulations performed with the Surface Evolver.
