NUMERICAL MODELLING OF SEA SPRAY ICING ON VESSELS

A time-dependent numerical model of sea spray icing with special application for ships is presented. The model has been used to calculate icing on various test objects attached to the front mast of the observation vessel ENDRE DYROY when operating in the Barents Sea. A new calibrated formula of spray mass flux was used as input to the model. This formula is based on spray collector measurements, also at the front mast of ENDRE DYROY. The correlation between measured and computed ice thickness was rather satisfactory.
