An experimental investigation in the icing wind tunnel YBF-04 has been conducted to measure the icing cloud uniformity and liquid water content (LWC) distribution in the test section. An icing grid and a multi-cylinder equipment are both used in the experiments as the measurement instruments
in which the multi-cylinder can be operated under two states
rotating and stationary. As for the three measurement techniques
the experimental icing conditions are all the same
including the airflow speed and temperature
as well as the spray air and water pressure. According to the ice accretion on the icing grid
the cloud uniformity in the test section can be observed directly while the LWC value can be calculated by the measured ice thickness. In the same way
the multi-cylinder equipment also can be applied to measure the local LWC at the centerline of the test section. The experimental results show that
the icing cloud is mainly concentrated in 75% area of the test section but the uniformity still needs to be improved because of the droplet settling and nozzle clogging. In addition
when the ice accretion occurs on the icing grid surface
the blockage ratio of the icing wind tunnel will increase with time
which can lead to the significant change of the airflow parameters
as well as the greater measurement error. But the effect during the multi-cylinder experiments is smaller and negligible. Thus
the measurement of LWC distribution has higher accuracy by using multi-cylinder equipment.
