Foam reverses aerodynamic lift

I hope this may be of interest:
"Physicists in France have discovered that when a foam flows over an aerofoil, the resulting force is exerted downwards rather than upwards" - see Foam result surprises scientists.

It made me wonder if there might be effects from other types of fluid that are encountered more frequently than foam - e.g. clouds. Anyone know if research has been done in this area?
