Abstract

Contents: Saturn V low-gravity fluid mechanics problems and their investigation by full-scale orbital experiment; An experimental investigation of the dynamic behavior of the liquid-vapor interface under adverse low- gravitational conditions; Inviscid fluid flow in an accelerating axisymmetric container; Some thermal aspects of a contained fluid in a reduced-gravity environment; Distribution of noncondensable gases in liquids under low-g conditions; The fluid mechanics of condensing mercury in a low-gravity environment; Dynamic response of liquids in partially-filled containers suddenly experiencing weightlessness; Low-gravity liquid reorientation; Interfacial stability of liquid layers on elastic surfaces; Sloshing of a liquid in a draining or filling tank under variable-g conditions; The effect of wall elasticity and surface tension on the forced oscillations of a liquid in a cylindrical container; Shape and stability of the liquid-gas interface in a rotating cylindrical tank at low g; Meniscus shape under reduced-gravity conditions; Liquid settling in large tanks; The Martin Company's low-g experimental facility; The application of hydrophilic and hydrophobic surfaces for phase separation in a low-g environment.
