In this work, we numerically analyze different thermocapillary-based strategies for active
control of sloshing in microgravity. The fluid system considered is an open rectangular …

Two types of resonance-derived interfacial instability are reviewed with a focus on recent
work detailing the effect of side walls on interfacial mode discretization. The first type of …

Numerical simulations are used to analyze the dynamics of a free surface excited by thermal
modulations at the lateral boundaries that generate a time-dependent thermocapillary flow …

Present and future challenges of space exploration require better and improved strategies
for fluid control and management. The “Thermocapillary-based control of a free surface in …

We consider the response to periodic forcing between 5 Hz and 50 Hz of an interface
separating immiscible fluids under the microgravity conditions of a parabolic flight. Two pairs …

The paper is devoted to the experimental study of the dynamics of an interface between two
liquids with high viscosity contrast filling a vertical, circular narrow gap rotating about a …

We present experimental evidence of the existence of an interfacial instability between two
miscible liquids of similar (but non-identical) viscosities and densities under horizontal …

Abstract The Control of Fluids in Microgravity with Vibrations (CFVib) experiment was
selected for the 2016 Fly Your Thesis! programme as part of the 65th ESA Parabolic Flight …

We have discovered a peculiar behaviour of the interface between two miscible liquids
placed in a finite-size container under horizontal vibration. We provide evidence that …

Experiments on vibrated fluids confined in cylindrical and cuboidal containers were
performed under the reduced gravity conditions of a parabolic flight. The results constitute a …
