To characterize the physics of the initial phase of ice formation by ice crystals through experiments
- Detailed (macro and microscopic) experimental investigations of the inception phase leading up to formation of an ice layer from impact of ice crystals on a heated dry surface, a partly wetted surface, and the enlargement of an existing ice layer
- Calibration and validation of theoretical and numerical models for heat transfer in ice accretion of ice crystals
Detection of ice conditions and real-time power control of IPS (PWG1)
