WP1

Addresses fundamental issues of ice physics and of the ice accretion process which are of direct consequence for the applications.

Objectives

Improve current knowledge of the physics of formation and properties of complex ice layers (wall-bound liquid flows at icing interfaces and nucleation, dynamics and properties of ice mushy layers and ice crystal layers)

Devise accurate models for predicting hydrodynamics, heat transfer and solidification at the ice/water-aircraft interface

Quantification of the uncertainty of the models and of the operating conditions

DR4: Ice accretion on Urban Air Mobility Vehicles

DR5: Experimental investigation of the effects of ice roughness on the laminar-turbulent transition and the transitional region

DR6: Modelling of heat and mass transfer over a heated evaporating liquid film

DR7: Experimental investigation of sheared liquid film at low temperature

DR10: Liquid transport and solidification on cold structured and rough substrates

DR11: Heterogeneous nucleation in a propagating wall bounded supercooled drop

DR12: Dynamics and properties of a mushy layer formed by solidification of supercooled water

DR13: Heat transfer at the interface during droplet induced ice layer growth

DR14: Direct numerical simulation of the ice accretion process

DR15: Experimental study of the initial phase of ice crystal accretion
