Modelling of ice crystal icing in turbofan engines
- Abstract:
-
Turbofan engine icing threatens compressor operation and service life. Ice crystal ingestion during cruise and descent phases of flight results in smaller, partially melted crystals entering the engine core. Here, crystals can stick to stationary surfaces driven by the presence of a water film, and evaporative and melting heat exchange with the mixed-phase crystals. Modelling of the ice crystal cloud conditions is needed to understand threat areas within the core and operating envelope and to...
