Scientific paper

C-CORE of St. John's, Canada, has established CIRUS-Consortium for Industrial Research in the Use of Space-whose mandate is to provide benefits to industry for the energy and environment sectors. Research to date has focused on enhanced oil recovery and contaminant transport by the study of fluid physics in microgravity. Three experiments performed by CIRUS members in ground-based or parabolic flight programs have been chosen for further development. These experiments are combined in a Get Away Special (GAS) container which will fly on board NASA's space shuttle. The development program for the GAS container is entitled MIRROR-Microgravity, Industry Related Research for Oil Recovery. Research projects in the MIRROR program include the study of diffusion coefficients of crude oil (DCCO), foam stability in the absence of gravity drainage and capillary flow in porous media. This paper describes the development and potential benefits of the DCCO and foam stability projects.
