Diamagnetic levitation of liquid-grain systems and liquid drops

This thesis describes the use of diamagnetic levitation for experimental studies of fluid and granular dynamics in a pseudo-weightless environment. A super­conducting solenoid magnet was used to generate a large 18 T inhomogeneous magnetic field in order to levitate liquid water, organic liquids and...
