Fluid physics is the study of liquid and gas motion and the effects of forces on liquids and gases. The International Space Station’s low-gravity environment offers a unique place to study fluid physics. Nearly weightless conditions allow researchers to observe and control fluid phenomena in ways not possible on Earth. Learn more about fluid physics research on the ISS.
