| Description | An experiment was performed on oscillatory thermocapillary flow in the Glovebox aboard the USML-1 Spacelab which was launched in July, 1992. Cylindrical containers of 1 and 3 em in diameter were used. Silicone oils of 2 and 5 cSt viscosity were the test fluids. The fluid was heated by a cylindrical heater placed along the centerline of the container. The diameter of the heater was 10% of the container diameter. The fluid motion was studied by flow visualization. Although oscillations were observed briefly, bubbles generated in the fluid during the experiment disturbed the flow substantially so that the critical temperature differences could not be determined. |
