STDCE-1
Surface Tension Driven Convection Experiment – 1 (STDCE-1) On earth, fluid convection is dominantly dictated by buoyancy and thermocapillary forces are reduced. These thermocapillary forces are caused by temperature-induced surface tension variations that are not easily studied where gravity is strong. Only in very small settings on earth can thermocapillary action be measured, thus creating … Read the rest ⇢
