Marangoni Convective Phenomena under Microgravity Condition.

Computational Simulation of Hydrodynamic Convection in Rising Bubble Under Microgravity Condition

In this work, rising of a single bubble in a quiescent liquid under microgravity condition was simulated. The related unsteady incompressible full Navier-Stokes equations were solved using a conventional finite difference method with a structured staggered grid. The interface was tracked explicitly by connected marker points via hybrid front capturing and tracking method. One field approximatio...

[Spatial orientation under microgravity].

On Earth, humans are constantly exposed to the gravity. During head and body tilts, the otolith organs sense changes in head orientation with respect to the gravitational vertical. These graviceptors also transduce transient linear acceleration generated by translational head motion and centripetal acceleration during rotation about a distant axis. When individuals are rotated at a constant vel...

Modeling of Macroscopicimicroscopic Transport Phenomena in Zeolite Crystal Solutions under Microgravity Conditions

The Hysteresis Phenomena of Flow Patterns due to Thermal and Solutal Marangoni Convections in a Liquid Bridge under Zero Gravity

The floating zone (FZ) method is one of the growth techniques used to grow single crystal materials. FZ growth is achieved in a containerless environment (without a crucible) by the movement of a molten zone of a solid rod, which forms a free-standing liquid bridge between two solid sections. However, the surface tension along the free surface of the molten zone varies due to temperature and co...
