1. Toward Anti-icing and De-icing Surfaces : Effects of Surface Topography and Temperature
Sammanfattning : Icing severely affects society, especially in the Nordic countries. Iceaccumulation can result in critical performance problems and safetyconcerns for instance in road, air and sea transportation, transmissionlines, marine and offshore structures, wind turbines and heat exchangers.

2. Utilizing solar energy for anti-icing road surfaces using hydronic heating pavement with low temperature
Sammanfattning : During summer, the surface temperature of an asphalt road pavement can rise up to 70°C due to absorbed solar radiation. The high temperature degrades the performance of the asphalt concrete by accelerating the thermal oxidation and plastic deformation, especially under heavy traffic loads. LÄS MER
3. Ice free roads using hydronic heating pavement with low temperature: Thermal properties of asphalt concretes and numerical simulations
Sammanfattning : A traditional method to mitigate the slippery conditions of a road is to spread out salt and sand on the road surface. However, salting causes corrosion on the road infrastructures, damage to surrounding vegetation and salification of fresh water. Hence, there is a need for alternative solutions to mitigate the slippery conditions. LÄS MER
4. Measurements for winter road maintenance
Sammanfattning : Winter road maintenance activities are crucial for maintaining the accessibility and traffic safety of the road network at northerly latitudes during winter. Common winter road maintenance activities include snow ploughing and the use of anti-icing agents (e.g. road salt, NaCl). LÄS MER
5. Numerical analysis of coalescence-induced jumping droplets on superhydrophobic surfaces
Sammanfattning : Bio-inspired superhydrophobic surfaces are used in numerous technological applications due to their self-cleaning ability. One of the several mechanisms reported in literature and responsible for self-cleaning is the phenomenon of coalescence-induced jumping of droplets from such surfaces. LÄS MER
