Impact of convection on the damping of an oscillating droplet during viscosity measurement using the ISS-EML facility

Abstract Oscillating droplet experiments are conducted using the Electromagnetic Levitation (EML) facility under microgravity conditions. The droplet of molten metal is internally stirred concurrently with the pulse excitation initiating shape oscillations, allowing viscosity measurement of the liqu...
