Multiphase Flows and Icing

Research in multiphase flows and icing combines questions from classical aerodynamics with those from thermodynamics and mass transfer.

The particular multiphase flow of air, water droplets and ice crystals represents the main research topic of our working group. We focus on experimental investigations at our Braunschweig icing wind tunnel and numerical simulations of the icing processes.

Ice Layer Characterization 2.0 - TUBS & TUDa

[AG Mehrphasenströmungen und Vereisung, Institut für Strömungsmechanik, Mehrphasenströmungen und Vereisung]

TU Braunschweig and TU Darmstadt joined hands to characterize the Ice layers produced inside the TU Braunschweig Icing wind tunnel. Capacitive sensor and calorimetry technique to quantify liquid water content present inside the ice layers.
