Abstract:In an attempt to improve the predictive capability of atmospheric icing models, we have developed a theoretical model of spongy ice formation, including the surficial morphology under a falling supercooled liquid film. A steady-state model of freshwater spongy spray icing for a stationary vertical cylinder is presented. A falling film submodel accounts for the flow of excess liquid on the icing surface. Traditional heat and mass balance equations at the outer surface of the falling film are formulated, along with heat and mass balances for the falling film and for the dendritic freezing zone. The rate of advance of the icing interface is calculated by analogy with the rate of advance of freely-growing ice crystals in bulk supercooled liquid. This allows, for the first time, the prediction of ice accretion flux and accretion sponginess, for a specific icing configuration and environmental conditions. An analysis of the model's sensitivity to spray temperature reveals that spray supercooling enhances both the rate of accretion and its sponginess. A comparison of the model's performance with experiments shows rather good agreement, and suggests that further research into the nature of the icing surface and its effect on the accreted ice is warranted.
