Liquid motion in partially filled containers: Preliminary results of the D-1 mission

Experiment WL-FPM-08, or also: FLIM, has been executed in the FPM on the D-1 mission. The experiment is a continuation of an earlier one on Spacelab-1, and seeks to study capillary liquid flow in transparent models of spacecraft tanks. A typical dimension in a container is five centimeters. Six experiment runs have been conducted with liquid in...
