Popis: Seeding the flow with tracer particles is a common way to visualize the flow in a half zone liquid bridge. In the experiments on the ground, these tracer particles were found to accumulate and form a rotating closed loop when the flow field is three dimensional, oscillatory and traveling. This structure was named the Twisted Loop Particle Accumulation Structure (TL-PAS). The present experiment conducted using the sounding rocket MAXUS6 which was launched on 22 November 2004 operated by ESA. The TL-PAS was firstly confined to emerge under the microgravity, too. The TL-PASs with mode number of 2 and 3 were formed successfully. Bottom and Side views of the TL-PAS were recorded. The analysis of the three dimensional structure will be followed.
