Experimental Research on the Similarity of Rime Icing on a Cylinder Rotating around Its Horizontal Axis

Ice accumulation on the blade of a wind turbine surface seriously threatens the operational safety of the turbine; therefore, the research on this problem is very important. In this paper, a new similarity criterion of icing shape for a rotational model was proposed based on the similarity criterion...
