Thermal spraying has been present for over a century, being greatly refined and optimized
during this time. It has become nowadays a reliable and cost-efficient method to deposit …

Surface icing tends to cause serious problems such as flash over and the following blackout
accident. Although electrothermal system is the most widely used method, how to solve the …

Ice formation and accretion have a severe negative impact, thus creating the tremendous
demand for anti-icing/deicing surfaces. Compared with other techniques, superhydrophobic …

Anti‐icing coatings on outdoor infrastructures and transportations inevitably suffer from
surface injuries, especially in extreme weather events (eg, freezing weather or acid rain) …

A framework of using transfer learning algorithms, Inception V3 and TrAdaBoost, for fault
diagnosis of two wind turbine faults is presented and verified. Two failure modes, blade icing …

Frosting is a natural phase change phenomenon which happens frequently in nature and
industry and has negative effects on a variety of applications. As a passive anti-frosting …

Solar energy-based renewable energy conversion and storage technologies offer a great
promise of combating energy shortage and transitioning to a sustainable society. Efficient …

Cold Spray (CS) is a deposition process, part of the thermal spray family. In this method,
powder particles are accelerated at supersonic speed within a nozzle; impacts against a …

A field study was conducted to examine ice accretion on 50-m-long turbine blades and icing-
induced power production losses to multi-megawatt wind turbines. An unmanned-aerial …
