	CSA - Fluid Sciences
		The FSL, a cutting edge technological facility, will go up to the International Space Station in 2004 and will allow all sorts of experiments in fluid science to be done.
		The CSA, through the Physical Sciences in Space Program, will develop a facility based on the MIM (Microgravity Vibration Isolation Mount) technology, which will be installed in the ESA’s Fluid Science Laboratory.
		As an orbital microgravity laboratory, the International Space Station will give researchers the opportunity to make numerous scientific discoveries that would be unachievable in Earth-normal gravity, in particular because of the behaviour of fluids in microgravity: the movement of liquids and the interactions between gases and liquids are considerably modified in microgravity.

		For the two and a half years that the NASA Space Shuttle fleet was grounded, crew rotation continued on the station through the use of the Russian Soyuz spacecraft, but construction of the ISS was halted and the science conducted aboard was limited due to the crew size of two.
		The US Lab was also the first science module delivered to the ISS, whereas Zarya provides electrical power, storage, propulsion, and guidance functions and Zvezda provides living quarters, a life support system, a communication system, electrical power distribution, a data processing system, a flight control system, and a propulsion system.
		Columbus will be the second module mainly dedicated to science on the ISS, including the Fluid Science Laboratory (FSL), the European Physiology Modules (EPM), the Biolab, the European Drawer Rack (EDR) and various storage racks.

	SCIENTIFIC SESSION V:
		Investigations on thermal convective instabilities occuring in the spherical gap flow under terrestrial conditions are of basic importance especially for the understanding of symmetry-breaking bifurcations during the transition to chaos.
		Microgravity experiments on thermal convection with a simulated central force field are important for the understanding of large scale geophysical motions as the convective transport phenomena in the earth's liquid outer core (Fig.
		It is found that the wavelenght and the amplitude of the stationary wave -like profile are both increasing functions of the frequency and of the amplitude of the vibration and that they are proportional to the capillary length.

	ULB - Microgravity Research Center: Fluid Science Lab
		For fluid physics experiments under microgravity conditions, there is an important need to determine the specifications and the limitations of the different interferometric methods that are available.
		Most of the scientists working in fluid physics want to use the interferometer like a simple usual instruments that we can commonly find on the shelf and, therefore they confuse the capability of the instrument with the inherent uncertainties of the fluid flow created in a experimental cell.
		Such situations are common in fluid mechanics experiments where the refraction due to thermal or composition gradients can be large.
