    Abstract
  • The combustion characteristics of metal aerosols,particles,and rods in a microgravity environment were reviewed based on three typical microgravity experiment methods, including free fall, parabolic flight, and simulating microgravity flow field. The metals include magnesium, aluminium, titanium and so on. The influence mechanism of microgravity on metal combustion speed, flame structure, phase transition process, and unique combustion phenomena was introduced in detail. The advantages of the microgravity environment in revealing the inherent properties of metal combustion were described. The advantages and disadvantages of existing microgravity experimental system and the feasibility of simulating the microgravity flow field were summarized. Results showed that the researches on the inherent properties of metal combustion and the influence of weak effects were limited due to the costly and uncommon microgravity environment. It is suggested to further investigate the microgravity experimental methods,the influence of weak effects on the combustion characteristics of metals, and the microscopic influence mechanism of heat and mass transfer changes on combustion chemical reactions under microgravity.
