ABSTRACT = {Detailed numerical analysis is presented for the effect of spaceship orbital transfer on solution convection during protein crystal growth under 
microgravity. The results show that the flow and mass transfer during protein crystal growth are unsteady in the process of orbital transfer. For the 
case of quasi-steady acceleration, the flow is so weak that the effect of flow on concentration field can be negligible. For the case of position 
adjustment, the convection is enhanced with protein crystal diameter <i>d<sub>c</sub></i> > 0.2 mm and slightly alters the purely diffusive concentration distribution 
under zero gravity condition. For the case of motor working, the solute transport is mainly controlled by convection and the concentration field near 
the crystal surface is altered obviously.},
