Glaze ice accretion geometries from icing wind tunnel tests on a cowl-lip model.

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.
