Structure of ice grown from droplet accretion and solidification process

In a previous wind tunnel investigation it was observed that ice crystals grown from accreted droplets are oriented so that the angle φ{symbol}, formed by their c-axis with the growth direction, has a prevailing value. In the present work, the average value of this angle φ{symbol} is studied as a fu...
