The workshop addresses challenges in experimental and numerical simulation of flows in micro-gravity. It aims at assessing the current experimental and numerical capabilities for technically relevant flows in micro-gravity, particularly for capillary flow conditions and applications related to fuel storage and refuelling in orbit.

Topics of interest:

  • Ongoing preparations and results from experiments in a genuine micro-gravity environment

  • Activities, results and remaining challenges for ground facilities that can provide a micro-gravity environment

  • Status of developments for  flight demonstrators, strategy and status of design and preparations

  • Numerical methods for capillary flows, e.g. assessing the current validation level and need for validation data

  • Status of empirical models for application of CFD methods to capillary flows in micro-gravity 

 

Please see the timeline under the heading "Calendar of Events".

Registration is free of charge but mandatory for participation and normally restricted to organisations from ESA Member States and Associate Member States. Please contact one of the organisers in case of any questions.
