A preliminary study on ice shape tracing with a laser light sheetPreliminary work towards the development of an automated method of measuring the shape of ice forming on an airfoil during wind tunnel tests has been completed. A thin sheet of light illuminated the front surfaces of rime, glaze, and mixed ice shapes and a solid-state camera recorded images of each. A maximum intensity algorithm extracted the profiles of the ice shapes and the results were compared to hand tracings. Very good general agreement was found in each case.
