Resumen
Heating devices on airfoil surfaces are widely used as an anti-icing technology. This study investigated the aerodynamic performance with a static heating surface based on the modified extended Messinger model. The predicted ice shape was validated through a comparison with the experimental results for HAARP-II. A reasonable agreement was found for both the icing area and the ice mass on the suction surface. Then, the prediction method was adopted for an NACA0012 airfoil at an attack angle of 4.0∘" role="presentation" style="position: relative;">4.0°4.0°

C near the leading edge. As a result of heating, the round ice formation when was no longer observed, and the formed ice volume decreased. However, bump-shaped pieces of ice were formed downstream of the heater owing to runback water; these bump-shaped pieces of ice formed on the suction surface significantly increased the flow drag and reduced the lift. The results indicated that extending the heating area on the suction surface can improve the aerodynamic performance. Consequently, the overall aerodynamic performance is deteriorated by adding static heating compared to the case without heating.
