Numerical simulation for ice accretion on rotating cowling considering water film shedding

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

Ice accretion on a rotating cowling differs from that on other components due to centrifugal force, which may lead to water film shedding from surface. The rotation would result in an increasement of water film surface energy, and shedding would occur when surface energy reaches a critical value. A criteria of water film shedding is then presented and a method of numerical simulation for 3-dimensional ice accretion on cowling is established. Ice accretions on cowling with different rotating speeds are simulated, and the results indicate that both the icing range and the ice mass would decrease due to the effect of rotation, and with a greater rotating speed the reduction is more obvious.
