Abstract
The future Space experiment IVIDIL is planned to study the influence of vibration stimuli on the measurements of diffusion and thermodiffusion coefficients. A binary mixture of water and isopropanol is chosen as a working liquid. The principle of the Space experiment and ground based research are outlined. In addition preparatory experiments might be performed during parabolic flights. Results of 3D numerical simulations of thermal vibrational convection in binary mixture at the conditions of the parabolic flight are presented. Heat and mass transport arising in the system with increasing of vibration actions is discussed.
