Ice crystal ingestion at high altitude is a menace to the safe operation of jet engines. Because the core airflow in jet engine has higher temperature, ice crystals may partially melt into droplets when they enter the core airflow. A mixed-phase condition is seen consisting of both water droplets and ice crystals, which will cause ice accretion on both the static surfaces and rotating components in a compressor. This ice accretion may give rise to compressor surge or even mechanical damage of jet engine. In order to analyze this in depth, a numerical method of mixed-phase icing was developed. The Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes equations were used for the airflow solution. The Lagrangian method was employed for determining the trajectories of ice crystals and droplets. An ice crystal impingement model was created, in which the breakup and rebounding of ice crystals and splashing of film were considered. A thermodynamic model was proposed for ice crystals and droplets on the basis of the first law of thermodynamics. An icing simulation was developed under mixed-phase conditions with different liquid water contents and ice water contents, and the results were compared with experimental data from the literature. The comparison showed a fairly good correlation, which supports the validity and rationality of the method of mixed-phase icing.
