Description

This dataset is associated with the thesis "Geometric Characterization of Aircraft Icing" (ISBN 978-3-947623-82-2) and includes geometries used to analyze aircraft icing on cowl lips during take-off and climbing conditions. The geometries were generated in the icing wind tunnel at TU Braunschweig under two distinct icing scenarios, referred to as Case B and Case C. Both cases represent typical icing conditions for cowl lips: Case B: Velocity (U∞): 50 m/s Temperature (T∞): -5°C Liquid Water Content (LWC): 0.42 g/m³ Median Volume Diameter (MVD): 50 µm Time (t): 80 s Case C: Velocity (U∞): 50 m/s Temperature (T∞): -5°C Liquid Water Content (LWC): 0.42 g/m³ Median Volume Diameter (MVD): 50 µm Time (t): 120 s The synthetic ice accretions in this dataset were produced using two innovative methods developed in the thesis. These datasets prove that ice accretion can be reproduced by using a reduced set of parameters. For detailed information, please refer to the thesis.
