Abstract
Icing is a phenomenon that super-cooled droplets impinge on a solid surface and accrete on it. Many studies on ice accretion have been conducted because the icing phenomenon causes serious problems in various places. Because there are many unknown physical properties of the super-cooled droplet, the detailed freezing process of super-cooled droplets has not been clarified yet. In the previous study, we reproduced static freezing process of super-cooled droplet by the numerical simulation. Therefore, in this study, we simulate dynamic freezing process when it impinges on the flat plate. The obtained results indicate that the simulation code which has been developed in the present study can reasonably reproduce the behavior of the droplet freezing up along the interface between the water and the air.
