Bubble Drop and Particle Unit (BDPU) Project. Executive Summary

摘要

A modular facility for studying bubble, drop, and particle dynamics in liquid matrices in nonuniform fields of temperature and concentration; formation and dynamics of solidification fronts under the effect of temperature and concentration gradients; interaction between bubbles, drops and particles, and the advancing solidification front; and the fluid dynamics of levitated samples, solution growth, life science experiments, and electrophoresis is proposed. Design results, program aspects, and commercial factors are discussed.
