Abstract :
Behavior of bubbles in liquid nitrogen (LN2) between plate electrodes with an angle of 30° just after release from the terrestrial gravity was observed using a free fall capsule at the Japan Microgravity Center in Kamisunagawa, Hokkaido. The bubble motion is examined considering the gradient force, buoyancy produced by residual gravity and viscosity force of LN2
