Fluid Dynamics in Microgravity

Fluid dynamics in microgravity refers to how liquids and gases behave when there's little or no gravity, such as on the International Space Station. Without gravity pulling fluids downward, surface tension and other forces dominate, causing fluids to form spheres or float in unusual ways. This affects how fluids move, mix, and interact with surfaces, impacting experiments, cleaning, and equipment operation. Understanding these behaviors is essential for designing systems like life support, fuel management, and scientific experiments in space, ensuring safety and efficiency in a microgravity environment.
