Fluid Flows in a Microgravity Environment (1999)
1999 · Short film
Synopsis
Matter behaves differently in a microgravity environment such as the International Space Station. Simulations can help scientists understand how heated or cooled fluids behave in microgravity. Computationally reducing gravity shows that temperature variation on the fluid surface becomes dominant and causes the fluid to move. A few degrees' variation can lead to significant motion. Note: Two animations of fluid flow in a microgravity environment, where colors represent temperature and ribbons…
