Description of a small climatic wind tunnel based at the Khristianovich Institute of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences

A description of a small climatic wind tunnel designed for studying the icing processes at the Khristianovich Institute of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences is presented, The use of such a wind tunnel offers a possibility not only of studying the physics of the icing process, but also of testing methods of anti-icing control, validating numerical methods used for calculating the icing processes, etc.
