Aircraft icing
In 2018, approximately 4.3 billion passengers were carried by scheduled flights in the member states of the International Civil Aviation Organization. To satisfy the needs of day and night flight operations even in situations of inclement weather, aircraft icing is an inherent component of the certification of large transport aircraft. Ice detection and protection systems ensure flight safety and must be designed carefully. The reliable prediction of ice accretion is a mandatory intermediate step that involves many challenging problems of fluid mechanics that will be treated in this volume. After introducing the topic of aircraft icing with a brief historical overview of technological and scientific progress over the last century, current challenges from the perspective of fluid mechanics are outlined. In particular, the governing boundary conditions of the phenomenon are highlighted, accompanied by remarks on non-dimensional groups and scaling laws. Selected physical properties of water and ice are elucidated. Classic ice accretion is usually triggered by the impact of supercooled droplets on a surface. After analysing the solidification process of supercooled water, drop impact is studied on both dry and wetted substrates. Macroscopic phenomena of ice accretion are considered using a combined approach of experiments and computations. To carry out experimental investigations, the Braunschweig Icing Wind Tunnel was built. Together with the results of the icing code TAUICE, the gathered data are used to develop a deeper understanding of the process of glaze ice accretion, which involves a broad range of physical phenomena, including wetting, roughness formation, transitional flow and heat transfer.
Frosting and Icing for Efficient Energy Use in Engineering Applications
Frosting and Icing for Efficient Energy Use in Engineering Applications provides a compendium of innovative case studies for mitigating impacts from frosting and icing on energy. This book first clarifies the mechanisms of frosting and icing, outlining modeling options, and control techniques. Next, a series of experimental examples show the effects of frosting at different scales of energy production, from ambient air vaporizers to wind turbines, and demonstrate how to control these for maximum efficiency. Finally, the mechanisms and mitigation of frosting are examined in a variety of infrastructure scenarios, including sustainable food storage and efficient high-speed railways. Combining the theoretical fundamentals of frosting and icing with a huge range of real-world case studies, this resource shows how to limit energy loss to these effects in key areas of engineering.

Astrophysik seit 1900 - Jubil瓣um von Karl Schwarzschild (1873-1916) und Ejnar Hertzsprung (1873-1967). Astrophysics since 1900 - Jubilee of Karl Schwarzschild and Ejnar Hertzsprung.
Einleitend wird das Thema "Astrophysik seit 1900" umrissen und die Entwicklung vom Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts bis zur Mitte des 20. Jahrhunderts wird in acht Kapiteln dargestellt. Bis zum 19. Jahrhundert basierte die klassische astronomische Forschung haupts瓣chlich auf auf der Messung von Stern- und Planetenpositionen zur Erstellung von Sternkatalogen. Um 1860 vollzog sich in der Astronomie eine Revolution. Anstatt nur die Richtung des Sternenlichts zu untersuchen, wurden erstmals auch die Quantit瓣t und Qualit瓣t der Strahlung untersucht. Dies war der Beginn der modernen (beobachtenden) "Astrophysik"; dieser Begriff wurde von Johann Karl Friedrich Z繹llner (1834-1882). Die Astrophysiker begannen, die Eigenschaften der Himmelsk繹rper mit physikalischen und chemischen Methoden zu untersuchen. Die neuen Themen waren Photometrie, Astrofotografie, Spektroskopie / Spektralanalyse und Sonnenphysik. Karl Schwarzschild (1873-1916) war der Pionier der theoretischen Astrophysik um 1900. Er f羹hrte neue theoretische Themen wie Sonnenphysik, Theorie der Sternatmosph瓣ren, Sternstruktur und Einsteins Allgemeine Relativit瓣tstheorie. Ihm gelang der Durchbruch des Hertzsprung-Russell-Diagramms (HRD), das unabh瓣ngig voneinander von Ejnar Hertzsprung (1873-1967) 1905 und Henry Norris Russell (1877-1957) 1910/12 entwickelt wurde. Die HRD ist wesentlich f羹r die Diskussion der Sternentwicklung. Der Beitrag von Markus Bautsch "Die von Johann Jakob Balmer (1825-1898) gefundenen Zahlenverh瓣ltnisse bei den Spektrallinien des Wasserstoffs" ist der Rezeption dieser neuen Ideen (1884) gewidmet, die die Welt gleicherma?en in Erstaunen und und Verwirrung versetzte. Die Freundschaft des Mathematikers und Komponisten Hans Sommer (1837-1922) mit dem jungen Richard Strauss (1864-1949) f羹hrte 1893 zu einer Komposition unter Verwendung der Frequenzen der Balmerserie (Till-Eulenspiegel-Motiv).

Astrophysik seit 1900 - Jubil瓣um von Karl Schwarzschild (1873-1916) und Ejnar Hertzsprung (1873-1967). Astrophysics since 1900 - Jubilee of Karl Schwarzschild and Ejnar Hertzsprung.
Einleitend wird das Thema "Astrophysik seit 1900" umrissen und die Entwicklung vom Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts bis zur Mitte des 20. Jahrhunderts wird in acht Kapiteln dargestellt. Bis zum 19. Jahrhundert basierte die klassische astronomische Forschung haupts瓣chlich auf auf der Messung von Stern- und Planetenpositionen zur Erstellung von Sternkatalogen. Um 1860 vollzog sich in der Astronomie eine Revolution. Anstatt nur die Richtung des Sternenlichts zu untersuchen, wurden erstmals auch die Quantit瓣t und Qualit瓣t der Strahlung untersucht. Dies war der Beginn der modernen (beobachtenden) "Astrophysik"; dieser Begriff wurde von Johann Karl Friedrich Z繹llner (1834-1882). Die Astrophysiker begannen, die Eigenschaften der Himmelsk繹rper mit physikalischen und chemischen Methoden zu untersuchen. Die neuen Themen waren Photometrie, Astrofotografie, Spektroskopie / Spektralanalyse und Sonnenphysik. Karl Schwarzschild (1873-1916) war der Pionier der theoretischen Astrophysik um 1900. Er f羹hrte neue theoretische Themen wie Sonnenphysik, Theorie der Sternatmosph瓣ren, Sternstruktur und Einsteins Allgemeine Relativit瓣tstheorie. Ihm gelang der Durchbruch des Hertzsprung-Russell-Diagramms (HRD), das unabh瓣ngig voneinander von Ejnar Hertzsprung (1873-1967) 1905 und Henry Norris Russell (1877-1957) 1910/12 entwickelt wurde. Die HRD ist wesentlich f羹r die Diskussion der Sternentwicklung. Der Beitrag von Markus Bautsch "Die von Johann Jakob Balmer (1825-1898) gefundenen Zahlenverh瓣ltnisse bei den Spektrallinien des Wasserstoffs" ist der Rezeption dieser neuen Ideen (1884) gewidmet, die die Welt gleicherma?en in Erstaunen und und Verwirrung versetzte. Die Freundschaft des Mathematikers und Komponisten Hans Sommer (1837-1922) mit dem jungen Richard Strauss (1864-1949) f羹hrte 1893 zu einer Komposition unter Verwendung der Frequenzen der Balmerserie (Till-Eulenspiegel-Motiv).

The Ups and Downs of Physics
"This is science made eclectic and entertaining."--Publishers Weekly A spectacular and humorous guide to the physics of everyday life--perfect for readers of Storm in a Teacup and The Disappearing Spoon. Why do bridges sway in the wind? Why do doorknobs sometimes produce a shock? Where does lightning actually come from--and more importantly, what should we do if we're suddenly surrounded by it?

The book also examines the ethical implications of scientific decision-making by recounting cases such as the Challenger disaster and the Goi璽nia radioactive accident. And while physics can sometimes cause us problems, the underlying principles are elegant and fascinating--and with this book, we can learn how to harness them to our advantage. Told in a charming, conversational voice by the husband-and-wife duo Marcus Weber, a celebrated physicist, and Judith Weber, an acclaimed science communicator, this book interweaves fascinating facts about pistol shrimp and electrostatic charge with chatty stories and experiments readers can try at home. Marcus and Judith discuss everything from a cycling holiday in Cuba, to a cracked window in their home, to figuring out why an experiment they designed for a science television show damaged the iPhone of a famous celebrity ... Who knew physics could be so much fun!?

Newton and Relativity
It is well known that the equation E = mc簡 is a consequence from the Theory of Relativity. Little known, however, is that there is also a simple demonstration of this relation by Einstein derived from the laws of classical physics. This was the first step on an alternative path leading to relativity. Ignored for more than a century, this new approach is now investigated with the present work. It is shown that the Principle of Equivalence of Mass and Energy in connection with Newton's Second Law of Dynamics allows a logical and intuitive transition from Newtonian to Relativistic Mechanics. The book "Newton and Relativity" illustrates the surprising results of this research. The authors: Dr. Ing. Francesco Cester Dr. rer. nat. Manfred Clemente Dr. rer. nat.
