Update on the NASA Glenn Propulsion Systems Lab Icing and Ice Crystal Cloud Characterization - 2017

Abstract

NASA Glenn’s Propulsion Systems Lab, an altitude engine test facility, generates icing clouds with a spray system. While the spray system is used mostly to create ice crystal clouds (Appendix D/P), the 2017 cloud characterization effort added the requirement to produce exactly supercooled liquid clouds in Appendix C and Appendix O. Success was demonstrated to supercool the largest drops at the warmest conditions
