Abstract：
Fluid interfacial phenomenon and heat transfer of two-phase fluids system in space becomes more interesting and important research subjects of fluid physics in microgravity environment, due to its relative engineering applications in space explorations such as the management systems of fluids and heats in space, and no very well understanding of the fundamental phenomena of interfacial thermal-dynamics in space, such as interfacial flow with phase change and heat transfer behaviours in microgravity condition. The present presentation will give an overview of theoretical and experimental studies on the interfacial-tension and thermal-capillary driven flow instabilities, thermodynamic effects at phase-changed interface in evaporation and condensation and fluid management in space, in our work of past twenty years.  The future space experiments onboard the china spacecrafts, such as SJ10 scientific satellite and TZ-1 cargo spacecraft, respectively. And new scientific research programs of the two-phase system on future China Space Station will be given briefly in the frame of China’s Manned Space Engineering Program – “Flow and Heat Transfer Research in Two- Phase System Applied in Space”.
