Some applications of a new,time-dependent cylinder ice accretion model

A new, time-dependent ice accretion model on a non-rotating cylinder is described briefly. In order to demonstrate the power and versatility of the model, we present some results related to anti-icing, marine icing and helicopter rotor-blade icing.The model results show that the initial cylinder temperature can have a significant effect on both the shape and the mass of the ice accretion. The thermal properties of the cylinder material are also shown to be important when internal conduction and convection from the un-iced downstream face of the cylinder are taken into account.
