Aircraft Under Adverse Weather: Aero-engine Icing Phenomenon
Thursday, September 18, 2025 3:30pm to 4:20pm
Mechanical Engineering Graduate SeminarPresentation: Aircraft/Aero-engine icing is a well-known weather hazard to flight safety in cold climates. Ice accretion on frontal airframe surfaces (i.e., wings, propellers, aero-engine fan and compressor blades, and aero-sensors), caused by airborne supercooled water droplets and/or ice crystals in the clouds, will dramatically degrade the aerodynamic performance of the aircraft, thereby directly threatening flight safety.Presentation: Dr. Hu will...
From Space: Observing Fires, Smoke, and Our Planet’s Changing Future
Thursday, September 25, 2025 5:00pm to 6:00pm
Fires have profoundly shaped the course of human civilization. Yet, in recent decades, the increasing frequency and intensity of wildfires—and their emissions of smoke particles and other pollutants—have caused significant damage to our planet, with unavoidable consequences for for our decades-long regulatory efforts (including those through the “clean air act” in U.S. since 1970s) to improve air quality and public health. Addressing these challenges associated with fires at a global scale in...
