Getting Into the Flow on the ISS
Cleveland OH (SPX) Dec 02, 2015
Think about underground water and gas as they filter through porous materials like soil and rock beds. On Earth, gravity forces water and gas to separate as they flow through the ground, cleaning the water and storing it in underground pools. Gravity's role is significant in the process, both in nature with ground water and in chemical processes such as water reclamation reactors. How this filtering works on Earth is well understood, even when the flow consists of different fluids. The process is ... read more
