The Review of the Interior Corner Flow Research in Microgravity

In this paper the theoretical research of vane-type surface tension tank and the study of the interior corner flow are reviewed. Firstly, the conception of interior corner flow and its application in the research of vane-type surface tension tank are introduced. Then the development of analytical solutions about the interior corner flow is expounded, besides some important numerical solutions and experiments in microgravity condition. Up to now, a great deal researches of interior corner flow are carried out overseas, including many drop tower experiments and some space experiments. This paper will provide valuable references for the surface tension tank and interior corner flow research.
