Live record of vortex-shaped flow by microgravity solidification

A unique type of vortex-shaped microstructure reflecting the flow pattern during the microgravity solidification formed in Al70Ag20Ge10 alloy droplets using drop tube technique. A 2D axisymmetric model coupling heat transfer, fluid flow with phase change was established to simulate the fluid flow va...
