Observation And Analysis Of Smectic Islands In Space (Oasis)

The OASIS (Observation and Analysis of Smectic
Islands In Space) space flight experiment is a series of
experiment of the interfacial and hydrodynamic behavior of
freely suspended liquid crystal (FSLC) films which are the
thinnest known stable condensed phase structures making them
ideal for studies of fluctuation and interface phenomena. FSLC
films in microgravity present extraordinary opportunities for the
study of fluid dynamic and thermodynamic behavior in reduced
dimensionality, and for the exploration of fundamental
nonequilibrium fluid interfacial phenomena. Detail tests of
theories of hydrodynamic flow, of relaxation of hydrodynamic
perturbations, and of hydrodynamic interactions in 2D will be
done on freely suspended bubbles in microgravity, with and
without islands/domains, ideally providing physically and
chemically homogeneous 2D fluid systems for the precision study
of 2D hydrodynamics. The proposed experiments will be carried
out in dedicated sample chambers in the Microgravity Science
Glovebox (MSG) of the ISS.
