Considers the behavior of fluids in a low-gravity environment with special emphasis on application in PMD (propellant management device) systems . This book treats three different flow problems with analytical, numerical and experimental means: the transient contour change between two static surface configurations (free surface oscillations), the capillary rise in tubes (capillary rise), and the flow through open capillary channels (choking).
