This research simulates supercooled large droplet (SLD) impingement on rotating turbofan fan blades, where centrifugal and Coriolis forces create distinct patterns. Research offers a tool for evaluating SLD impingement on rotating machinery, fundamentally affecting ice accretion predictions—essential for designing effective de-icing systems.
