Collisions of small ice particles under microgravity conditions
Context. Planetisimals are thought to be formed from the solid material of a protoplanetary disk by a process of dust aggregation. It is not known how growth proceeds to kilometre sizes, but it has been proposed that water ice beyond the snowline might affect this
متن کاملOptical Mass Gauging System for Use in Microgravity Environments
Currently there are no effective methods of obtaining accurate fluid volume measurements in a microgravity environment. Conventional fluid measurement methods rely solely upon gravity to settle the fluid in order to obtain accurate measurements. However, this approach cannot be applied when fluids are within a microgravity environment and experience sloshing. This optical mass gauging system ut...
متن کاملBacterial biofilm formation under microgravity conditions.
Although biofilm formation is widely documented on Earth, it has not been demonstrated in the absence of gravity. To explore this possibility, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, suspended in sterile buffer, was flown in a commercial payload on space shuttle flight STS-95. During earth orbit, biofilm formation was induced by exposing the bacteria to sterile media through a 0.2-microm (pore size) polycarbon...
متن کاملDielectrophoretic Rayleigh-Bénard convection under microgravity conditions.
Thermal convection in a dielectric fluid layer between two parallel plates subjected to an alternating electric field and a temperature gradient is investigated under microgravity conditions. A thermoelectric coupling resulting from the thermal variation of the electric permittivity of the fluid produces the dielectrophoretic (DEP) body force, which can be regarded as thermal buoyancy due to an...
