      Effects of periodic gravity modulation in microgravity convection systems 

      Cyr, Martha N.; Alexandrou, Andreas N.; Olinger, D. J. (Publ by ASME, 1993)
      Natural convection in an enclosure that is subjected to periodic excitations is investigated using a classical mixed Galerkin finite element method. The modulation is incorporated in the momentum equations, through a ...

      Sedimentation of heavy crystal particles under microgravity conditions 

      Alexandrou, Andreas N.; Gatsonis, N. A.; Shi, H.; Sacco, A. (American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics Inc, AIAA, 1998)
      Crystals grown from specially prepared liquid solutions have important industrial applications such as in biochemical processes, refining etc. The efficiency of these crystals is usually a function of their size. Therefore, ...
