Abstract

The behaviour of a diffusion boundary between distilled water and a 1% sodium chloride solution during a parabolic flight has been observed The presence of a few percent of Earth gravity pulses during the micro gravity conditions is sufficient to largely perturb the diffusion boundary that stabilises again during the subsequent normal gravity conditions present inside the aircraft at the end of each parabola. A numerical simulation of the boundary behaviour agrees with the experimental observation.
