A new experimental campaign has been conducted in the shoulder region of an incoming airfoil of chord 1050 mm, where droplets are separated enough to neglect interferences between them. Droplets of three sizes (500, 950, and 1250 μmof radius) were allowed to fall in the path of an incoming airfoil while shadowgraph images were recorded by a high-speed video camera at 40,000 fps. The airfoil model was placed at the end of a rotating arm and moved at four velocities (30, 40, 50, and 60 m∕s). Three different regions of the shoulder were tested. Droplet deformation and trajectories are presented. Droplets evolve as a conjunction of two half-oblate spheroids that tilt as the model approaches. The tilting is larger in the higher regions of the shoulder. The trajectory model derived for droplet in the stagnation line of a moving airfoil has been formally derived for the shoulder region and applied to the experimental data, showing very good agreement being the mean discrepancy less than 4% for the trajectory and 10% for the deformation.

Interferometric laser imaging for droplet sizing method for long range measurements
(Elsevier, 2021-01-15) García Magariño, A.; Sor, Suthyvann; Muñoz Campillejo, Javier; Bardera, Rafael; García Magariño, A.; Sor, Suthyvann; Muñoz-Campillejo, Javier; Instituto Nacional de Técnica Aeroespacial (INTA)
A recent appendix in the aircraft regulations comprises testing supercooled large droplets impinging on its surfaces. For those tests, the size and distributions of droplets need to be characterized in icing wind tunnels. In this paper, the applicability of implementation of the “Interferometric Laser Imaging for Droplet Sizing” technique inside a wind tunnel with a 3 m × 2 m open elliptical test section has been discussed. Experiments have been conducted in the laboratory for the discussion at object distance of 1.6 m and 2.29 m and droplets diameters between 360 µm and 850 µm. All the streams were previously characterized by means of the shadowgraph imaging technique. A novel approach of the Interferometric Laser Imaging for Droplet Sizing technique where droplets are not fully defocused to avoid excessive overlapping is presented. Two new image processing approaches provide in general good results as compared to previous methods.
