In Part 2 of this tutorial series, we model droplet impingement and collection efficiency using the DROP3D module in Ansys FENSAP-ICE. Using the airflow solution computed in Part 1, DROP3D calculates the trajectories of supercooled water droplets and determines where droplets impact the airfoil surface. Topics covered in this video: • Linking airflow solutions to droplet simulations • Defining liquid water content (LWC) • Setting droplet diameter and distributions • Understanding collection efficiency (β) • Visualizing droplet impingement results The droplet solution determines how much water reaches the surface and becomes available for freezing in the ice accretion model.
