Reliable and predictable control of liquid and gas flow in space is a vital component of space missions. Critical aspects of water management for life support systems, fuel delivery in spacecraft engines, thermal management using heat pipes, and lab-on-a-chip diagnostics are all highly impacted by fluid behavior in the absence of gravity [1–3]. While admirable progress on these fronts has been made over the last decade, control of multiphase flow and interfaces remains a challenge.
