ADP/Master thesis: Ice thickness measurements of supercooled water droplets impacting onto rotating surfaces

  • Dear students,
    Due to the escalating extreme weather conditions, the aircraft icing events are increasingly growing. The analysis of this phenomenon has gained increased attention, particularly in the field of aviation safety. The project consist in creating a single water drop impact set-up onto a rotating disk (a similar old set-up is already present); design either a cooling chamber, or a cooling system for the droplet or the disk; measure and automate by means of a chromatic line sensor (CLS) the thickness of the formed ice layer on the disk. Further information can be found in the attached pdf or by reaching me via email.
    Best regards,
