Development of a macroscopic model to simulate water beads on hydrophobic andsuperhydrophobic coatings to be used in-flight icing software such as CANICE-2D

The intern has developed a 3D microscopic model to simulate water bead behavior on

hydrophobic and superhydrophobic coatings. The microscopic model developed at Concordia

University which simulates one bead cannot be directly integrated into an aircraft icing panel

code such as CANICE-2D. CANICE-2D approved by Transport Canada has been widely

used at Bombardier Aerospace to simulate aircraft in-flight icing. This is a panel code solving

the flow, the droplet trajectories, ice thermodynamic and the geometry. CANICE-2D can run

cases in few minutes which reduces the time to find the critical icing shape. CANICE-2D

calculates the ice shape by solving the heat and mass transfer equations and the water film

at the surface when glaze ice is formed.
