“…The experiment is designed to be mainly used for parabolic flight experiments. The parabolic flights are performed with the Airbus A310 ZERO-G by Novespace in Bordeaux, France (Pletser et al 2016). The sample bed is oriented in the plane in flight direction to take advantage of the residual acceleration in x-direction during the weightlessness phase of a parabola.…”

“…Unsteady 3D direct numerical simulations (DNS) are performed using the finite elements code COMSOL Multiphysics v3.5. The code has been used to simulate the temporal evolution of the axial gravity during parabolic flights (Pletser et al 2016). During one parabola, the experiment successively undergoes a 1g phase of about one minute, a 1.8g phase of 20s, followed by a microgravity phase of 22s, and another 1.8g phase of 20s.…”

“…A total of 104 parabolic flight campaigns had been organized, including 38 ESA, 34 CNES, and 23 DLR microgravity campaigns, 2 Joint European ESA-CNES-DLR Partial-g Parabolic Flight Campaigns, and 7 ESA student campaigns. Since April 2015, Airbus A310 ZERO-G [28] has been used to perform parabolic flights.…”
