Four ice-protection structures with different film-slot angles were designed
an Eulerian-framework based droplet impingement computation method was developed and verified to study the influences of film-slot angle and blowing ratio on droplet impingement characteristics for 20μm diameter. The results indicated that the exterior hot-film can blow the droplet away to decrease local collection efficiency and impingement limitation significantly
and the influence was more evident when the position of film-slot was closer to strut leading edge
the average local collection efficiencies of four structures declined 82%
8%
1% and 0.5%
respectively
compared with no-film situation. Besides
the maximum local collection efficiency and impingement limitation decreased with the increasing blowing ratio. The impingement characteristics of film-slot angle 5°was most sensitive to blowing ratio. Similar local collection efficiency distribution features were presented at leading edge. For rear area
