Anti/De-Icing Simulation

 ANTI-ICEPAC aims to simulate anti-icing effect through prediction of surface temperature distribution above the heated surface covered by the water film. Based on ICEPAC with k-ω SST model, this solver calculates the air flow through the conjugate heat transfer method to predict convective heat transfer coefficient(CHTC) which is changed by surface temperature. In the film model, the conductive heat term caused by heat source is added to the thermodynamics model of ICEPAC. This method has good agreement with validation cases, compared to the conventional methods, and could then be easily extended to de-icing analysis.
