Minimization of Coriolis Effect on Heat Transfer Over a Partially Heated Wall in a Rotating Enclosure

To study heat transfer and combustion in reduced gravity environments, such as those on the Moon or Mars, a centrifuge becomes a useful tool. However, the artificial gravity generated in a rotating platform is complicated by the presence of the Coriolis force. The effect of this extra force needs to be minimized to acc...
