A laboratory-numerical approach for modelling scale effects in dry granular slides (2018)
Journal Article

Granular slides are omnipresent in both natural and industrial contexts. Scale effects are changes in physical behaviour of a phenomenon at different geometric scales, such as between a laboratory experiment and a corresponding larger event observed...

Development and evaluation of poly(dimethylsiloxane) based composite coatings for icephobic applications (2018)
Journal Article

Formation and accretion of ice on the leading edge surface of aircrafts wings may lead to disasters. The current de-icing system for aircraft will build up weight, increase energy consumption and add complexity to the aircraft systems. Development of...

Looking beyond the powder/dense flow avalanche dichotomy (2018)
Journal Article

Köhler et al. (2018) deploy a high spatial and temporal resolution GEODAR radar system to reveal the inside of snow avalanches over the entire slope. They detect a rich variety of longitudinal and slope normal flow structures across a data set of 77... Read More about Looking beyond the powder/dense flow avalanche dichotomy.

Mixed ice accretion on aircraft wings (2018)
Journal Article

Ice accretion is a problematic natural phenomenon that an effects a wide range of engineering applications including power cables, radio masts and wind turbines. Accretion on aircraft wings occurs when supercooled water droplets freeze instantaneousl... Read More about Mixed ice accretion on aircraft wings.
