The work described in this book was performed during my employment at the Center of Applied Space Technology and Microgravity (ZARM) of the University of Bremen in the years 1994 to 2006. Some of the results were published in papers and reports by (in alphabetical order) Jens Gerstmann, MarkMichaelis, Antje Ohlho?, Uwe Rosendahl, Michael Stange, GerritW] olk, and myself. The contents of these papers are partly included in this work to make it a thorough and comprehensive document. I am very grateful to my colleagues since this book would have never been possible without their cooperation. First of all I would like to express my gratitude to the head of ZARM, the chair for mechanics and ?uid mechanics in the faculty of production - gineering and technology of the University of Bremen, Prof. Dr.-Ing. Hans J. Rath, who gave me the freedom and the possibilities to perform this work. Furthermore, I acknowledge with great pleasure the cooperation with my c- leagues (in alphabetical order) Dr. Volker Baumbach, Dr. Christian Berg, Frank Ciecior, Dennis Haake, Dr. Armin de Lazzer, Holger Faust, Carsten Fechtmann, Dr. Jens Gerstmann, Dr. Aleksander Grah, Dennis Haake, Prof. Dieter Langbein, Ronald Mairose, Dr. Mark Michaelis, Dr. Karine Odic, Dr. Antje Ohlho?, Peter Prengel, Uwe Rosendahl, Dr. Uwe Schmid, Markus Stadtlander, Dr. Michael Stange, Malte Stief, and Dr. Gerrit W] olk."

Industry Reviews

From the reviews:

"The research work of the author and his colleagues at the Center of Applied Space Technology and Microgravity, University of Bremen, considers the behavior of fluids in a low-gravity environment with special emphasis on application in PMD (propellant management device) systems. ... The experimental results are presented for a wide range of parameters, and a one-dimensional theory is corroborated by the experiments. ... It is very well written research monograph, which should be of considerable value to the scientists working in this field." (Jagdish Prakash, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1115 (17), 2007)

"A compendium that would be particularly helpful to a person new to the field. ... An attractive feature of the book is the inclusion of summaries ... . The book should be of interest to specialists in fluid management systems design for low gravity. ... For the nonspecialist the book gives a good glimpse into how results from experiments, analysis, and computation can combine to provide information and insight into low-gravity fluid flow, on which engineering designs can be based." (Paul Concus, SIAM Review, Vol. 50 (1), 2008)
