Experiment of the Two－phase Flow Pattern in Different Gravity Environment on Board the MIR Space Station

In accordance with the agreement entered into by China and Russia on the utilization of "Mir" space station for development of cooperative research in April 1998, the Institute of Mechanics, CAS and Keldysh Research Center of Russian Space Agency accomplished the experiment of two-phase flow pattern in different gravity conditions aboard "Mir" space station and gained a complete success after more than one year of research and cooperation. In this cooperative research, the Chinese side is responsible for presenting the aca-
