The evaluative study of window defrost using Computational Fluid Dynamics

CFD를 이용한 Window Defrosting 평가

The purpose of this study is to evaluate a defrost model for the possibility of defrosting on wheelhouse window and the heat capacity if defrosting nozzle by using the commercial CFD solver FLUENT. A detailed simulation model has been created which contains the defrosting nozzle, window and the interior/exterior forced convection boundary. In this numerical study, the heat and mass transfer coupled during defrosting and investigated the defrost time for different hot gas temperature, external wind speed and temperature condition.
