Abstract
Thermocapillary flow within large sized drops of diameters up to 15 mm was studied experimentally during KC-135 parabolic flights. For the simultaneous observation of the flow and the temperature fields inside the drops, visualisation by means of liquid crystal tracers was applied. Due to the curved surfaces of the drops, a special evaluation method has to be taken into account. The experimental set up and the test procedure as well as a qualitative description of the observed flow behaviour in high Prandtl number liquids are described.
