Abstract:

Thermodynamic phenomenon is an important phenomenon in aircraft in-flight icing process. Research on the thermodynamic behavior of aircraft icing will be beneficial for an accurate understanding of the freezing characteristic and physical mechanism of icing process, and will thus lay the foundation for the development of effective means for anti-icing and de-icing to ensure flight safety in icing conditions. For over half a century, researchers have been aimed at lessening the hazards of aircraft in-flight icing. The current research and development in thermodynamic behavior of aircraft icing, including the physical mechanism of supercooling of water, thermodynamic conditions of icing, nucleation and crystal growth, and coupled liquid/solid phase transition of complex heat and mass transfer characteristics are reviewed, and the outlook and future efforts for research on thermodynamic behavior of icing is presented.

Key words: supercooled water droplet, aircraft icing, thermodynamics, ice physics, micro-structure
