Description du projet/ Project
Description
This project is the continuation of a
one-year project on “Ice-phobic
evaluation of superhydrophobic coatings
for aircraft icing protection”. Phase 2
of this project is aimed at improving
the technology readiness level (TRL)
from 2 to 4 through a combined numerical
and experimental study. It will
specifically focus on drop interactions
with superhydrophobic surfaces in static
(initially stationary drop) and dynamic
(impact) conditions.
Objectifs/ Objectives
The objectives of this project are:
(a) Develop 3D VOF solver to investigate
droplet impact and solidification on
treated and untreated surfaces.
(b) Conduct experiments on single
droplet and spray flow impingement on
treated and untreated surfaces to
understand the mechanism of water and
ice mitigation on SHC.
(c) Adapt test methods to evaluate the
endurance performance of
superhydrophobic surfaces.
(d) Produce robust superhydrophobic
coatings.
