Abstract:

Driven by airflow, water on the icing surface of aircraft will flow backwards, forming water film which affects the de-icing/anti-icing system of aircraft. To explore the flow regularity of the water film, experimental measurements are conducted to investigate the shear-driven water film on the horizontal flat substrate. The water film is driven in a wind tunnel, and a high-speed video system with the Brightness-Based Laser-Induced Fluorescence (BBLIF) technique is used for observation and post-processing the flow structure of the water film. The characteristics such as mean film thickness, base film thickness, roll wave amplitude and wavy frequency are collated and studied. The results show that the mean film thickness increases with the increase of the film Reynolds number and decreases with the increase of the airflow velocity. The dimensionless base film thickness is generally in the range of 0.4 to 0.85. With the same film Reynolds number, the surface fluctuation frequency increases with the increase of airflow velocity.
