FLUIDICS Hardware during First Run of Experiment
iss051e034000 (5/2/2017) --- A view taken to document hardware setup during the first run of the Fluid Dynamics in Space (FLUIDICS) experiment. The Container Box is attached to the Seat Track at COL1D1-D2, and a video camera records experiment data on the screen of a laptop computer. Image was taken in the Columbus European Laboratory. The FLUIDICS investigation evaluates the Center of Mass (CoM) position regarding a temperature gradient on a representation of a fuel tank. The observation of capillary wave turbulence on the surface of a fluid layer in a low-gravity environment can provide insights into measuring the existing volume in a sphere.
