Flexible Electrothermal Hydrophobic Self-Lubricating Tape for Controllable Anti-icing and De-icing
, 2023 In winter, the freezing phenomenon threatens the safety of people both in the work and home environments. At present, electrothermal de-icing technology is widely used, but how to improve the portability and anti-icing/de-icing efficiency of ...

Semi-empirical approach to characterize thin water film behaviour in relation to droplet splashing in modelling aircraft icing [PDF]
, 2012 Modelling the ice accretion in glaze regime for the supercooled large droplets is one of the most challenging problems in the aircraft icing field. The difficulties are related to the presence of the liquid water film on the surface in the glaze regime ...

Ice accretion compositions in ice crystal icing
International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer, 2023 Ice crystal icing is a major hazard in aviation from the perspectives of aerodynamic deterioration, flight safety and operability. To counter this challenge, existing ice prediction tools require more accurate modeling of sticking efficiency of glaciated ice crystals on heated substrates. As part of the present study, icing wind tunnel experiments have

Ice swimming – ‘Ice Mile’ and ‘1 km Ice event’ [PDF]
BMC Sports Science, Medicine and Rehabilitation, 2015 Background: Ice swimming for 1 mile and 1 km is a new discipline in open-water swimming since 2009. This study examined female and male performances in swimming 1 mile (‘Ice Mile’) and 1 km (‘1 km Ice event’) in water of 5 °C or colder between 2009 and 2015 with the hypothesis that women would be faster than men. Methods: Between 2009 and 2015, 113 men

An automatic multi-stepping approach to aircraft ice prediction [PDF]
, 2007 Flying an aircraft in icing conditions may seriously degrade its aerodynamical performance and threaten the flight safety. Over the years, new technologies and improved procedures have limited the potential risks caused by aircraft icing. Experimental

Optimization and verification of droplet infiltration model in contact line theory
Polymer Testing, 2023 In order to improve the theory of contact line density, the contact angle model of rectangular convex structure with anisotropy was established, and the integral method and cyclic assignment method were used to solve the droplet volume.
