| French language |
|
Course contents :
|
| Table of content :
- zero gravity and microgravity
- physical phenomena in microgravity
- means for obtaining microgravity
- hypergravity
- designing an experiment |
|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| The lecture aims to allow student better understanding the scientific motivations about micogravity. The second objective is either to design an original experiment (which could flight in the ESA Zero-G) or to visit installations simulating micro-gravity. |
|
Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :
|
| The lecture about complex fluids. |
|
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
|
| - microgravity in fluids, Plateau's experiment
- free fall tower
- visit of ESA equipment in Bordeaux (airbus) or Bremen (drop tower) |
|
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :
|
| The lecture is organized at the first semester. |
|
