This chapter deals with two-phase flows, i.e. systems of different fluid phases such as gas and liquid. A typical example of a two-phase flow is a motion of a particle (bubble or droplet) in a stagnant fluid (liquid or gas). In many branches of engineering it is important to be able to describe the motion of gas bubbles in a liquid (Krishna & Baten, 1999). In multiphase flow, the simultaneous flow strongly depends on the gravity force. However, in zero gravity conditions, buoyancy effects are negligible and as an alternative, three different methods were found to make the bubbles or drops move in zero gravity. They are electrocapillary, solutalcapillary and thermocapillary motion.
