The aim of the project is to observe the potentially complex behaviour of vibrated liquids in weightless environments and to investigate the extent to which small-amplitude vibrations can be used to influence and control this behaviour. Piezoelectric materials are used to generate high-frequency vibrations to drive surface waves and large-scale reorientation of the interface. The theory of vibroequilibria, which treats the quasi-stationary surface configurations achieved by this reorientation, was used to predict interesting parameter regimes and interpret fluid behaviour. Here we describe the scientific motivation, objectives, and design of the experiment. date_type: published date: 2017-10 publication: Microgravity Science and Technology volume: 29 number: 5 pagerange: 351-364 id_number: 10.1007/s12217-017-9556-7 institution: Espacio department: Matematica_aplicada_2014 refereed: TRUE issn: 0938-0108 official_url: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2Fs12217-017-9556-7 comprojects_type: MINECO comprojects_type: MINECO comprojects_code: ESP2013-45432-P comprojects_code: ESP2015-70458-P comprojects_title: Fluidos vibrados en microgravedad y experimentos en pequeños satélites comprojects_title: Control de fluidos vibrados en microgravedad citation: Fernandez Fraile, Jose Javier and Salgado Sanchez, Pablo and Tinao Perez-miravete, Ignacio and Porter, Jeffrey Brent and Ezquerro Navarro, Jose Miguel (2017).
