Outline of Research at the Start

2030年代には火星に向けた有人宇宙ミッション計 画が示されており、地球外における作物生産技術の確立が急がれているが、地球上重力と異なる重力環境(微小重力から過重力)下における多孔 質体中の水分挙動には不明な部分が多い。本研究では、(1)1G条件下において多孔質体中の水分移動現象を把握し、(2)落下塔と航空機による月・火星重力を含む変動重力下での実験を行う。(3)両方の結果を比較することで重力が与える多孔質体中の水分移動現象に対する新たな知見を得る。(4)多孔質体中のような複雑な流れ場に対しても適用可能な水分移動モデルを開発して実験により明らかになった現象に対する理解が正しいか評価する。

Outline of Final Research Achievements

The applicability of Darcy's equation from microgravity to hypergravity was experimentally demonstrated. In the case of densely packed porous media, the water flux density in unsaturated porous media is independent of gravity. Under microgravity, in a space as small as the pore space in the porous media, "air supplementation in the pore" did not occur because the water wetted the entire pore space. Furthermore, two types of "infiltration in pore extensions," on a single particle and pore extensions formed at the boundary of particle layers, temporarily inhibited infiltration regardless of the presence or absence of gravity. The intrinsic permeability, which constitutes the hydraulic conductivity, was found to be independent of gravity. It was also experimentally confirmed that the physical properties of water are also independent of gravity.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

1990年代から続いている微小重力下における多孔質体中の水分移動速度が低下するか否かの論争に終止符を打った画期的な研究である。ダルシー・バッキンガム式の重力依存項に対して重力の影響がないことを1つずつ丁寧に実験的に明らかにした。従来報告されている微小重力下で水分移動速度が低下した原因は、微小重力下では粒子が移動することによって粒子間結合が疎になって水分移動が抑制されたためであることを明らかにした。宇宙農業を実施する際の理論的裏付けとして意義ある研究成果が得られた。
