Response of convective-diffusive transport to spatial and temporal variations in effective gravityThe response of heat, mass, and momentum transport to conditions characteristic of the microgravity environment is studied. It is found that the orientation of the experiment with respect to the steady component of the residual gravity is a crucial factor in determining the suitability of the spacecraft as a means of suppressing or eliminating unwanted effects caused by buoyant fluid motion. The process is highly sensitive to transient disturbances.
