Orbiting spacecraft provide a valuable laboratory for experiments on physical and biological systems in a reduced gravity environment. In these experiments, fluid masses containing bubbles and drops are encountered routinely. This original work provides a clear, thorough review of the motion of bubbles and drops in reduced gravity, particularly motion caused by variations in interfacial tension arising from temperature gradients on their surfaces. The emphasis is on theoretical analysis from first principles; experimental results are discussed and compared with predictions where appropriate. Students and researchers interested in fluid mechanics in reduced gravity will welcome this state-of-the-art reference.
Orbiting spacecraft provide a valuable laboratory for experiments
on physical and biological systems in a reduced gravity
environment. Materials processing experiments have commonly
involved the growth of crystals from the melt or solution, and the
processing of alloys and composites. Biological experiments have
been performed on a variety of subjects, including protein crystal
growth, bio-reactors, and the adaptation of humans to extended
periods of weightlessness. In these studies, fluid masses
containing bubbles and drops are encountered routinely. This 2001
book provides a clear, thorough review of the motion of bubbles and
drops in reduced gravity, particularly motion caused by variations
in interfacial tension arising from temperature gradients on their
surfaces. The emphasis is on theoretical analysis from first
principles; experimental results are discussed and compared with
predictions where appropriate. Students and researchers interested
in fluid mechanics in reduced gravity will welcome this
state-of-the-art reference.
