  2. NASA SEED Program

  3. FMVM Fluid Merging Viscosity Measurement.

  4. FMVM

  5. DCMG

  6. Final Design

  7. Structural Verification • Full structural analysis with worst • case scenario loading. • Design Calculations including: • Attachment of components to frame • Full assembly analysis under g loads • Aircraft floor attachment • External/internal impact analysis • Floor load • Factor of Safety Table

  8. Top Level Design Decisions • Double enclosure of test fluids- sealed test cell and protective paneling surrounding the frame • Test cell geometry • Single level equipment configuration • Reinforcing cross beams • Aluminum mounting plate • Open fluid circuit • Actuated fluid delivery needle • Fiber optic light panel

  9. Fabrication Test Cell – Structure – Components - Electrical

  13. Experiment Testing • Individual Components Tested • Fluid flow rate • Video capture system • User interface • System Tested Before Flight • No fluid • Procedure practiced to set experiment routine • Looked for potential issues

  14. System Tested In-Flight

  15. Video Results • Drops before contact • Drops at contact • 16 videos from 60 parabolas • SUCCESS!

  16. What Could Be Improved • Easier access to experiment • Easier access to test cell • Force distributing strip • Streamlined control interface

  17. Thank you Questions?
