Relationships between Surface Properties and Snow Adhesion and Its Shedding Mechanisms

Understanding the mechanisms of snow adhesion to surfaces and its subsequent shedding provides means to search for active and passive methods to mitigate the issues caused by snow accumulation on surfaces. Here, a novel setup is presented to measure the adhesion strength of snow to various surfaces...
