主　　题：two-phase flow microgravity fluid physics space experiment 

摘      要：A first experimental study on two-phase how patterns at a long-term, steady microgravity condition was conducted on board the Russian Space Station MIR in August 1999. Carbogal and air are used as the liquid and the gas phase, respectively. Bubble, slug, slug-annular transitional, and annular hows are observed. A new region of annular how with lower liquid superficial velocity is discovered, and the region of the slug-annular transitional flow is wider than that observed by experiments on board the parabolic aircraft. The main patterns are bubble, slug-annular transitional and annular flows based on the experiments on board MIR space station. Some influences on the two-phase how patterns in the present experiments are discussed.
