Simulation of frost deposition on the surface of elliptical cylinder

This paper is focused on frost deposition phenomena on elliptical cylinder. The mathematical model is presented for prediction of frost layer parameters. This model is based on heat transfer coefficient distribution on the surface of such elliptical cylinder. The heat transfer coefficient was calculated by ANSYS-CFX - program for thermal-flow problems simulations. The results of the simulations are compared with the experimental data obtained on the experimental stand specially made for that purpose. /
