Overview

Model demonstrates a 73.4% accuracy in predicting mixed-phase icing on wind turbine blades, highlighting the impact of liquid water content.

Key Points

  • To establish a three-dimensional model for mixed-phase icing on wind turbine blades using thermodynamic principles.
  • Employs a multiphase flow framework based on Euler–Euler equations
  • Integrates an extended Messinger thermodynamic model
  • Applies an ice sticking–erosion model to simulate icing on blades
  • Achieves 73.4% accuracy in mixed-phase icing predictions
  • Single droplet icing model reaches 91.7% accuracy
  • Observes streamlined ice shapes at a 0.5/0.5 water content ratio
  • Identifies droplet median volume diameter as a significant influencing factor on icing behavior
