This review provides an overview of the major, currently used techniques for investigating
the Soret effect and measuring thermodiffusion and Soret coefficients, and in most cases …

This paper describes the European Space Agency (ESA) experiments devoted to study
thermodiffusion of fluid mixtures in microgravity environment, where sedimentation and …

With the aim of providing reliable benchmark values, we have measured the Soret,
thermodiffusion and molecular diffusion coefficients for the ternary mixture formed by 1, 2, 3 …

We study diffusive mixing in the presence of thermal fluctuations under the assumption of
large Schmidt number. In this regime we obtain a limiting equation that contains a diffusive …

The understanding of transport and mixing in fluids in the presence and in the absence of
external fields and reactions represents a challenging topic of strategic relevance for space …

We report on ground-based studies in course of preparation of the experiment DCMIX 2
(Diffusion coefficient in mixtures) to be performed on the International Space Station (ISS). In …

Thermodiffusion in ternary mixtures is considered prototypic for the Soret effect of truly
multicomponent systems. We discuss ground-based measurements of the Soret coefficient …

When carbon dioxide (CO 2) is layered on top of brine, the diffusion occurring at the
interface generates an intermediate layer denser than the brine one. This may generate a …

We have measured the Soret (ST), diffusion (D), and thermal diffusion (DT) coefficients of the
three binary benchmark mixtures of dodecane (C 12), isobutylbenzene, and 1, 2, 3, 4 …

We formulate low Mach number fluctuating hydrodynamic equations appropriate for
modeling diffusive mixing in isothermal mixtures of fluids with different density and transport …
