TY - Type of reference TI - The interest of microgravity for the study of fluid interfaces AU - Roger Prud’homme AU - Kwassi Anani AB - We discuss here the interest that experimentation in microgravity can represent for the study of fluid interfaces. First, we must know the situations where gravity is likely to exert an action on the interfaces. We will limit ourselves to two cases: the first is that of capillary interfaces where surface tension is present even at equilibrium, the second is that of thin flames which only exist outside of equilibrium, but which can be considered as generalized interfaces. A quick presentation of the means offered for the experiment is made. Concrete examples are treated by theory, numerical calculation and experimentation.
