Two phase flow and isopycnic liquid-liquid two phase fluid in reduced gravity field
Abstract
The possibility of applying the existent gas-liquid two phase flow behavior diagrams in the earth gravity to those in reduced gravity are described. Outlines of the results of free drop tower experiments, airplane experiments, free drop tower experiment and airplane experiment are reviewed. The result of the isopycnic two phase liquid flow experiments on the ground simulating the reduced gravity effects using silicone oil and water of the same specific gravity are outlined.
