Résumé
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 book is
the first to provide 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.
