Abstract: Earlier work that produced generalized rules for obtaining trajectories of water droplets moving around aircraft fuselages has been extended to cover the case for particles of arbitrary shape. The parameters determining ...

Abstract: The equations of motion for an ice crystal moving around a body are simplified and used to obtain the preferred angular orientation of the crystals with respect to the body. It is shown that the calculated orientation ...

Abstract: It is shown that the trajectories of precipitation particles which grow via the riming process depend primarily on liquid water content and cloud depth, and not on the exact details of cloud temperature, crystalline shape, ...

Abstract: A potential-flow sink-source technique is used to model the flows around fuselage shapes. It is shown that the flow in any plane can be approximated reasonably well using an axisymmetric model of similar shape and that at ...

Abstract: The vapor field around an ice crystal growing on a membrane filter in a static diffusion chamber is modeled and the associated losses in deposition nuclei due to crystal-crystal vapor depletion calculated. The expression ...

Abstract: The freezing rates of water droplets have been calculated. The interfacial position is specified as a power series in time, and expressions for determining the first five coefficients are given. The five?term series solution ...

Abstract: It is shown that the air flow around PMS canisters can be simulated using just two source and a sink. The flow field is easy to compute and more accurate than the sphere approximation which has been used by other workers.

Abstract: A constant temperature probe for the measurement of solid water content of clouds is described. The probe is operated at a temperature of approximately 25°C, and is designed to collect and melt ice particles that impact ...

Abstract: It is shown that when liquid water contents are measured with the CSIRO hot-wire element, and cloud transmission measured in the UV with a simple optical system, then the two measurements can be combined to yield total ...

Abstract: A recent treatment of the dynamic behavior of anemometer hot wires is simplified and used to show that the response of the CSIRO liquid-water hot wire can be described by a second-order differential equation. This is ...
