Experimental Characterization of Non-Isothermal Sloshing in Microgravity
Francisco Monteiro, Pedro Marques, Alessia Simonini +2
Sloshing of cryogenic liquid propellants can significantly impact a spacecraft's mission safety and performance by unpredictably altering the center of mass and producing large pre…
Characterization of a capillary driven flow in microgravity by means of optical technique
Domenico Fiorini, Louis Carbonnelle, Alessia Simonini +3
The motion of a gas-liquid interface along a solid wall is influenced by the capillary forces resulting from the interface's shape and its interaction with the solid, where it form…
Capillary driven flows in microgravity
Domenico Fiorini, Alessia Simonini, Johan Steelant +2
This work investigates the capillary rise dynamics of highly wetting liquids in a divergent U-tube in the microgravity conditions provided by 78th European Space Agency (ESA) parab…
Dynamic wetting experiment with nitrogen in a quasi-capillary tube
Domenico Fiorini, Alessia Simonini, Johan Steelant +2
This work investigates the wetting dynamics of cryogenic fluids in inertia-dominated conditions. We experimentally characterized an oscillating gas-liquid interface of liquid nitro…
Experimental analysis of heat and mass transfer in non-isothermal sloshing using a model-based inverse method
Pedro Marques, Alessia Simonini, Laura Peveroni +1
Nonisothermal liquid sloshing in partially filled reservoirs can significantly enhance heat and mass transfer between liquid and ullage gasses. This can result in large temperature…
Effect of inertia on the dynamic contact angle in oscillating menisci
Domenico Fiorini, Miguel Alfonso Mendez, Alessia Simonini +2
The contact angle between a gas-liquid interface and a solid surface is a function of the dynamic conditions of the contact line. Classic steady correlations link the contact angle…
Analysis of an unsteady quasi-capillary channel flow with Time Resolved PIV and RBF-based super resolution
Manuel Ratz, Domenico Fiorini, Alessia Simonini +2
We investigate the behaviour of accelerating contact lines in an unsteady quasi-capillary channel flow. The configuration consists of a liquid column that moves along a vertical 2D…
