We are developing a microgravity flow cell in which to study the interaction of a flowing gas with relatively massive particles that collide with each other and with the moving boundaries of the cell. Unlike Earth-bound flows where the gas velocity must be set to a value large enough to defeat the weight of particles, the duration and quality of microgravity on the Space Station will permit us to achieve suspensions where the agitation of the particles and the gas flow can be controlled independently by adjusting the pressure gradient along the flow and the relative motion of the boundaries. This paper describes the experimental apparatus, outlines a theory and computer simulations to predict the flow, and specifies microgravity requirements for its implementation in Space. .
