Research Abstract |
Weather condition and marine condition during sea spray icing was analyzed using field data: the growth rate of cross section of icing monotonically increasedwith the product of air temperature and wind speed. We developed a method employingstatic ropes in order to withstand the fluttering and the effect of green water. Saline ice adhesion tests of hydrophobic/hydrophilic polymer sheets were performed by coldexperiments in laboratories. In particular, the adhesion strength of the hydrophilicmaterial decreased remarkably as the salinity increased. The spray icing tests were verified by cold experiments conducted using an ice model basin. Exfoliation of pieces of the membranous ice was often observed during the initial growth. The highly hydrophilicsheets could be effectively used to achieve deicing due to the low adhesion strength of the saline ice and exfoliation. A combination of low adfreeze property and rapid distortion was effective for the deicing of sea spray icing.
