Thermocapillary Convection in a Low Pr Material Under Simulated Reduced-Gravity ConditionsA liquid bridge of tin was held between two vertical coaxial iron rods 4.5 mm in diameter and 4.6 mm apart. The temperatures at the top and bottom of the liquid bridge were 325 and 240 degrees, respectively. Flow oscillation was detected by a thermocouple in the liquid bridge. The amplitude and frequency of oscillation were around 1.3 degrees C and 5 Hz, respectively.
