ESDU TM 96 considers the operation of an aircraft tyre on a surface covered in slush. The Item examines the physical characteristics of snow and slush, describing slush as water-saturated snow having a liquid water content greater than 15% and a specific gravity in the range of 0.5 to 0.8. The memorandum reports on various theoretical models of the flow around a wheel operating in slush, considers the physics of operating in slush and reviews the fluid dynamics compressibility characteristics of the flow.
