Using a thermodynamic film model based on shallow water theory and a dynamic mesh model for the icing of 2D/3D bodies in the iceFoam solver simulation

The study of icing processes on elements of an airplane, helicopter, UAV, wind turbines, and power line wires is an urgent task in connection with flight safety and reliable operation of ground equipment. The features of the numerical simulation of multicomponent reactive mixture flow using the iceFoam solver were considered. The Euler-Lagrangian approach was used to describe the behavior of the two-phase flow with air and liquid droplets. The specifics of the construction of the project on the basis of the computation of the liquid film model for the conditions of the experimental setup for the 2D cylinder and NACA0012 airfoil are discussed. The results of computations of the main parameters of the ice accretion process are given, the efficiency of the iceFoam solver for parallel simulation on two different grids was shown. The computations were run on the high-performance cluster UNIHUB of ISP RAS.
