Abstract
This paper describes experiments performed in an altitude chamber at the National Research Council of Canada (NRC) as the first phase of a joint NRC/NASA program investigating ice crystal accretion in aero engines. The principal objective was to explore the effect of wet bulb temperature Twb (dependent on air temperature, humidity and pressure) on accretion behavior, since preliminary results published in an earlier paper indicated that well-adhered accretions are only possible at Twb<0°C, when water in an impinging mixedphase flow can freeze to a surface. To assess the accretion sensitivity to Twb, the symmetrical airfoil used in the previous work was tested at pressures of 44.8 kPa and 93kPa, usually at 0.25 Mach number, over a range of freestream liquid water and ice water concentrations, total air temperatures and humidity levels. Twb was typically maintained at +2°C or -2°C, based on dry total conditions (i.e. without ice or water injection). Total air temperature was >0°C in all tests. The limited test results confirmed that accretion behavior is very sensitive to Twb, which is in turn strongly related to pressure since evaporative cooling increases with decreasing pressure. Humidity and total temperature did not appear to have an independent effect on accretion behavior. Accretions, often resembling glaze ice, formed at Twb<0°C, when freestream water would freeze on the test airfoil without ice crystals present in the freestream. At Twb>0°C ice deposits were observed to be slushy, poorly adhered and shed frequently. The size of such deposits appeared to be a non-linear function of the freestream ice water content (IWC), becoming much larger at high IWC. © 2012 by National Research Council of Canada.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
