I'm excited to highlight some progress GE Research has made in modeling the formation of ice from water droplets in contact with cold surfaces. For several years, a multi-disciplinary team of researchers at GE Global Research has been developing "icephobic" surfaces. We have observed that certain types of surfaces hinder ice formation, but the exact mechanism was unknown. We use simulations as a means to gain insight into the conditions under which ice can be suppressed.
