The NCAR–FAA Snow Machine: An Artificial Snow-Generation System [PDF]
Journal of Atmospheric and Oceanic Technology, 2018 AbstractThe National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) developed an artificial snow-generation system designed to operate in a laboratory cold chamber for testing aircraft anti-icing fluids under controlled conditions. Flakes of ice are produced by shaving an ice cylinder with a rotating carbide bit; the resulting artificial snow is dispersed by ...
