This federal contract award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Florida (UF) is for a research project to develop a novel method for measuring interfacial tension (IFT) using an electrostatic levitator (EL). The project aims to determine IFT, a key thermophysical property, for liquid/gas systems relevant to materials processing and welding operations in space and on the ground. The proposed approach involves using electrostatic forcing to induce Faraday instability at the liquid interface, which can be correlated to the IFT. The research will be conducted in two stages: ground-based experiments at JAXA and NASA Marshall facilities, followed by microgravity experiments on the Electrostatic Levitation Furnace (ELF) aboard the International Space Station (ISS). This $977,327 grant award does not have a set-aside designation and is intended to provide an alternate, accurate method for measuring IFT, with potential applications for high-viscosity materials and two-liquid interface measurements.
