Demonstration of the effect of stirring on nucleation from experiments on the International Space Station using the ISS-EML facility

The effect of fluid flow on crystal nucleation in supercooled liquids is not well understood. The variable density and temperature gradients in the liquid make it difficult to study this under terrestrial grav...

Examining the influence of turbulence on viscosity measurements of molten germanium under reduced gravity

The thermophysical properties of liquid germanium were recently measured both in parabolic flight experiments and on the ISS in the ISS-EML facility. The viscosity measurements differed between the reduced gra...

Electromagnetic levitation containerless processing of metallic materials in microgravity: thermophysical properties

Transitions from the liquid to the solid state of matter are omnipresent. They form a crucial step in the industrial solidification of metallic alloy melts and are greatly influenced by the thermophysical prop...
