Various papers on low-gravity fluid dynamics and transport phenomena are presented. Individual topics addressed include: fluid management in low gravity, nucleate pool boiling in variable gravity, application of energy-stability theory to problems in crystal growth, thermosolutal convection in liquid HgCdTe near the liquidus temperature, capillary surfaces in microgravity, thermohydrodynamic instabilities and capillary flows, interfacial oscillators, effects of gravity jitter on typical fluid science experiments and on natural convection in a vertical cylinder. Also discussed are: double-diffusive convection and its effects under reduced gravity, segregation and convection in dendritic alloys, fluid flow and microstructure development, analysis of convective situations with the Soret effect, complex natural convection in low Prandtl number metals, separation physics, phase partitioning in reduced gravity, separation of binary alloys with miscibility gap in the melt, Ostwald ripening in liquids, particle cloud combustion in reduced gravity, opposed-flow flame spread with implications for combustion at microgravity.
