Abstract
A technique of simulating atmospheric rime icing in small-scale is des cribed. The method is useful in estimating ice loads on complex struct ures for which theoretical icing modelling is difficult. The effects o f changes in the structural design on ice loads can be readily detecte d by this technique. Results of wind tunnel icing experiments using a 1:15 scale model of a lattice mast segment are presented.
