Abstract
Ice accretion on 3D complex configuration is studied by numerical methods. The flow field is obtained by using Fluent 6.0 with a S-A turbulence model. Droplet trajectories and impingement characteristics are obtained by using the Eulerian approach. Ice shape is calculated based on the improved Messinger model with a new runback distribution scheme. By applying the method presented in this paper, ice accretion on NACA0012 is computed and the results are in good agreement with the available experiment data. It preliminarily shows that the improved method in this paper is feasible, Meanwhile, ice accretion on a four-element wing is studied. According to the analysis of the calculated result, the method presented in the paper can correctly simulate the ice accretion on 3D complex configuration.
