DECLIC (Device for the study of growth and critical liquids)

DECLIC is a multi-user facility dedicated to studying the behavior of critical fluids at low and high temperatures, chemical reactivity in supercritical water, directional solidification of transparent alloys, and more generally transparent media in microgravity on board the International Space Station (ISS).

ISS (International Space Station) International Space Station.

LES (Large Eddy Simulation) Large-scale method.

A method of treating turbulent flows by averaging quantities and equations in the short-wavelength range and treating the others directly.

LDV (Laser Doppler Velocimetry) Laser Doppler Anemometry.

A technique based on the Doppler effect for measuring local velocities...
