|
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. | |||||||||||||||||
|
Prerequisite knowledge and skills :
|
|||||||||||||||||
| The lecture about complex fluids.Preparing a Master Thesis on a topic related to the professors. | |||||||||||||||||
|
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) |
