Impact of rotation on UAM icing ❄️
➡️ My research aims to quantify the impact of rotation on UAM icing.🚁
To devise ice scaling laws and simulate in-flight icing on UAM with ducted rotors
- To numerically investigate the ice and snow accretion phenomena on small scale UAM
- Data gathered through the project will be used to investigate a possible scaling law for the icing problem and to assess the performance of UAM in icing and snow conditions
Detection of ice conditions and real-time power control of IPS (PWG1)
