Two-Phase Flow Process and Atomization Law of Nucleator Nozzle for an Outdoor Snow Maker
Zhileng xuebaoNucleator nozzles play an important role in promoting the rapid nucleation, crystallization, and snow formation of artificial snow droplets. A visual experimental platform was designed to investigate the gas-liquid two-phase flow process inside the ...

Water Science and Technology, 2009 Owing to less natural snow reliability as a result of climate change on the one hand, and the demand of higher standards by winter tourists on the other hand, the production of artificial snow in ski resorts has increased substantially during the last 20 years and is likely to increase further in future. Little research has been conducted on the impact

THE REACTION OF URBAN FOREST STANDS TO ADDITIONAL SNOWMAKING
Three stands inspection of urban forests in Krasnoyarsk on the territory of the Biathlon Academy sports facility was conducted. The changes in the wood volume of tree stand, dead-standing and dead fallen stand density and tree basal area in birch, pine and aspen forests for the period 2018-2022 after the completion of work on the equipment of the ...

The impact of climate change on ski season length and snowmaking requirements in Tyrol, Austria [PDF]
Climate Research, 2010 In this paper, the development and validation of a ski season simulation model (SkiSim 2.0) is described and results of the climate change assessment for 3 ski areas in Tyrol, Austria, are presented. The results of the validation process suggest that SkiSim 2.0 is an appropriate tool to simulate ski season lengths and snowmaking requirements at ...

A Preliminary LCA Analysis of Snowmaking in Fiemme Valley
, 2018 Modern ski resorts have been using systems of technical snow for many years: initially they were used to compensate the limits of natural snow but today it is actually the natural snow that is used as an integration to artificial snow and not vice versa.

Snowmaking in Austria: Energy consumption, water turnover, CO2 emissions
Current Issues in Sport Science (CISS)Introduction & Purpose Winters in Austria have warmed by 1.7 degrees Celsius since pre-industrial times (Olefs et al., 2020). Since 1961, snow cover periods in Austria have shortened by an average of 40 days (Olefs et al., 2020). This has led to a deeper look into adaptation measures and to ever more efficient snowmaking systems (Steiger & ...

Snowmaking as an adaptation strategy in ski resorts - Avoiding maladaptation by a climate service
, 2019 Presentation given at the UArctic Congress in Oulu, Finland on 5 September 2018 in a session on Arctic tourism and global change. The presentation is based on the WP5 CS1 team's work on co-designing a climate service for winter tourism industry in Northern Finland within the Blue-Action project (2016-2021).

Snowmaking's slippery slope: The effect of mountain reservoirs on water demand
Ecological EconomicsSnowmaking is the primary adaptation of winter tourism to climate change and requires increased water use in winter. However, water withdrawals during this period coincide with the mountain low-flow period, which can potentially cause conflicts with other human uses and ecosystems.
