An Ice Shedding Model for Rotating Components

Uav Icing: Development of an Ice Protection System for the Propeller of a Small Uav

“…A special issue for the icing on rotating parts like propellers and rotors is the centrifugal force created by the rotation. This leads to ice shedding (Nilamdeen et al, 2019). Ice shedding describes the process when a part of the accumulated ice breaks off the propeller because the adhesion forces between the propeller and the ice are not strong enough to keep the ice on the propeller.…”
