Abstract
The simulation of heat transfer from hot-air jets impinging a three-dimensional concave surface was developed in order to enhance safety under natural icing conditions. The deployment magnifies a reliable ice-accretion and anti-icing simulation code CANICE geared towards the specific needs of Bombardier Aerospace. Also the use of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) tools to model the internal hot-air region in conjunction with a 3-D ice-accretion code requires extensive computational resources. The study has used the state-of-the-art commercial CFD software FLUENT, where the software comes with the mesh generator GAMBIT for modeling and meshing geometry. The results showed the decrease in the Nusselt number along with s axis much faster than along y axis. The study also speculated that the use of smaller H is likely to be more effective than increasing jet Mach number or the number of the jets.
