The main goal of the project is the research and development of advanced snow generator with integrated measuring device for determining the parameters of generated snowflakes (size, quantity), which will be suitable for placement in wind tunnels. The generator will produce snow with
properties that approach the behavior of natural snow, thereby allowing experimental testing in conditions close to real winter conditions. Part of the aim is the development of CFD software module which allows performing numerical analysis of tracing, sticking and accumulation of snowflakes
and that will be useful in engineering applications.
