Abstract Icing is a phenomenon that super-cooled droplets impinge and accrete on a solid surface. When the icing occurs on aircraft wings, it deteriorates aerodynamic performances of the wings and the blade cascades of the engine, which may lead to severe accidents. Although number of investigations have been performed both experimentally and numerically [1], the icing shape prediction is now not practically complete due to the complex aspect of icing phenomena. In the previous research, Toba et al. [2] employed an explicitmoving particles simulation method (referred as E-MPS method), which was based on the Lagrangian approach, to reproduce the icing process… More >

Abstract A numerical method for the analysis of the electrothermal deicing system for an airfoil is developed taking into account mass and heat exchange at the moving boundary that separates the water film created due to droplet impingement and the ice accretion region. The method relies on a Eulerian approach (used to capture droplet dynamics) and an unsteady heat transfer model (specifically conceived for a multilayer electrothermal problem on the basis of the enthalpy theory and a phase-change correction approach). Through application of the continuous boundary condition for temperature and heat flux at the coupled movingboundary, several simulations of ice accretion,… More >
