icing
 

I solved a problem simple flow over a 2d aerofoil. with heater placed on its surface to avoid icing. is there any tutorial or other source that can guide me to solve the problem with water spray and air mixture. it is a two phase problem waiting for reply help plzz regards ali

Hi ali,

I have similar problem,
I can resume my experience with icing that you need to define water dropletes in air as multiphase multiflow domain using Eulrien model / lagrangian in addition to turbulance model like SST or k-e.

The main difficulty is how to introduce water to CFX or Fluent as suppercooled droplets or as ice to calculate the quantity of ice to be accreated, and how to deal with changing geomety (mesh moving) every time a new layer of ice is formed?

We wish that someone can help in that particular obstacle...

Good Luck

Heater
