Computational Investigation of the Water Droplet Effects on Shapes of Ice on Airfoils
Abstract
:1. Introduction
2. Materials and Methods
2.1. Main Model Equations and the Numerical Solution Method
2.2. The Motion of Liquid Droplets as a Continuum in a Gas Dynamic Flow
- All droplets are spherical, with no deformations and breakups of droplets.
- Droplets do not collide with each other, and coalescence/fragmentation of droplets does not take place.
- The effects conditioned by viscous forces are ignored.
- The drag and gravity forces act on droplets.
2.3. Calculation of Film Flows on Solid Surfaces
- there is no dissolved air in the liquid film;
- any air–water reaction is not taken into account;
- friction forces are the main driving factors for a liquid film;
- all properties are permanent inside the control volume of interest.
- -
- ice is a heat insulator (), and heat is not transferred between the wall and liquid film;
- -
- there is no heat transfer between neighboring control volumes, and the energy exchange between them is due to the convective heat transfer only;
- -
- a radiative heat flux is considered negligibly small, and its effect is significant, if only the simulation of anti-icing systems is performed ().
2.4. Geometry of the Motion of the Model Surface Faces
3. Results
3.1. Ice Accretion Model Validation
3.2. Studying the Droplet Diameter Effect on Icing
4. Conclusions
- turbulence and roughness of the iced surface of a 3D airfoil on its aerodynamic characteristics;
- the spread water film separation from the surface under the influence of the incoming flow;
- splashing of water droplets impinging on a solid surface and later frozen on the surface.
