Project Documentation

This short presentation provides an overview of the ICE GENESIS project, including its main objectives and workplan.

In the frame of WP8, ICE GENESIS will run liquid and snow tests using mockups developed in the project. These tests will be performed in Europe (Italy, the UK, Austria) and Russia. This presentation details the activities planned.

This presentation details the work of ICE GENESIS on the characterization of falling snow conditions to support the development of Snow Test and Numerical Simulation Capabilities.

This presentation provides an overview of the improvements made in ICE GENESIS for snow icing wind tunnels in Austria, Canada and Russia.

WP10 will be in charge of developing numerical tools for snow. This presentation details the work ongoing and to come.

Part of ICE GENESIS focuses on selecting instrumentation for liquid and snow conditions. This presentation explains the work performed for liquid conditions (WP4).

ICE GENESIS focuses on improving and calibrating existing icing wind tunnels in Austria, Russia, France, Italy for liquid conditions.

Part of ICE GENESIS's work is to improve numerical tools for liquid and snow conditions. This presentation details the work on liquid conditions.

The ultimate objective of ICE GENESIS will be to validate the numerical tools developed in WP9 (liquid conditions) and WP10 (snow conditions) in an industrial environment. This will be the work of WP11 and this presentation explains what will be done to achieve this.

RainbowVision has developed a device to measure simultaneously the droplet size distribution and the droplet temperature in real time. The technique has been successfully used to measure the evolution of N-Heptane droplet relatively to the distance to the flame front in diphasic swirled flame [1] as well as to measure the temperature of water droplet in Icing Wind Tunnel [2]. In the presentation at Aerotech Europe, new results of interest for the characterization of icing by Large Supercolled Droplet (LSD) has been presented.
