• Aerodynamic forces on iced cylinder for dry ice accretion – A numerical study 

      Sokolov, Pavlo; Virk, Muhammad Shakeel (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-09-28)
      Within this paper the ISO 12494 assumption of standard of slowly rotating reference collector under ice accretion has been tested. This concept, introduced by (Makkonen, 1984), suggests that the power line cables, which are the basis of the “reference collector” in the ISO framework, are slowly rotating under ice load, due to limited torsional stiffness. For this purpose, several Computational Fluid ...
    • Droplet distribution spectrum effects on dry ice growth on cylinders 

      Sokolov, Pavlo; Virk, Muhammad (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019-01-06)
      A detailed parametric analytical study along with a series of viscid multiphase numerical simulations of ice accretion were performed in comparison with experimental data of ice accretion on a 30 mm diameter cylinder. The study was performed for droplet distribution spectra, Langmuir (A-J), in addition to an experimental droplet distribution obtained in an icing tunnel.<br>Analysis shows that droplet ...
    • An investigation into empirical ice density formulations for dry ice growth on cylinders 

      Sokolov, Pavlo; Virk, Muhammad Shakeel (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-10-17)
      This paper describes an investigation into the empirical accreted icing density formulations, namely the numerical fits by (Makkonen and Stallabrass, 1984) and (Jones, 1990). Typically, the icing severity is estimated by the masses of the accreted ice, however, for this study the focus is primarily on the accreted ice densities and thicknesses for the main purpose of estimating the ice loads, in ...
    • Study of Airflow Behavior for Duplex Circular Cylinders 

      Sokolov, Pavlo; Virk, Muhammad Shakeel (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-09-16)
      The modeling of atmospheric ice accretion on duplex cylinders received a limited attention, with modeling carried by Wagner and Qing et al. The publicly available experimental data about the ice accretion on the duplex cylinders is limited to experiments of Qing et al. and Veerakumar et al. When comparing the data of Wagner and Qing et al. with the results of Veerakumar et al., the major ...
    • Study of Dry Ice Growth on Duplex Cylinders 

      Sokolov, Pavlo; Virk, Muhammad Shakeel (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      A study of dry ice growth on bundled (duplex) cylinders has been performed using icing wind tunnel experiments and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) numerical simulations. The aim of this study is to "fill the gaps" in the works of Wagner (2010) and Qing et al. (2018). The numerical simulations cover a range of possible icing conditions by varying the operating wind speed, median volume diameter, ...
    • Study of ice accretion on wind turbine blade profiles using thermal infrared imaging 

      Yousuf, Adeel; Jin, Jia Yi; Sokolov, Pavlo; Virk, Muhammad Shakeel (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-07-08)
      Atmospheric icing has been recognized as hindrance in proper utilization of good wind resources in cold regions. There is a growing need to better understand the ice accretion physics along wind turbine blades to improve its performance and for optimal design of anti/de-icing system. This article describes a study of ice accretion along wind turbine blade profiles using thermal infrared imaging. Surface ...
    • Study of the in-cloud dry ice accretion on cylinders for low values of the Stokes number 

      Sokolov, Pavlo (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2021-08-31)
      The study of the atmospheric ice accretion has received some attention from the scientific community in the past, with the available knowledge spanning from the works of the Langmuir and Blodgett (1946) on the Mt. Washington Observatory till the analytical parameterization of the Finstad et al. (1988), with the latter being the current analytical benchmark and the integral part of the ISO 12494 ...
