Lozowski model

The Lozowski model is an icing model - an axial-growth model for horizontal unheated cylinder, developed by Lozowski et al.

The Lozowski model is used for horizontal unheated non-rotating cylinder with perpendicular airflow. It works for both wet and dry conditions. The model was created in 1983, and a cylinder shape was chosen, because it works as a first estimate in many icing situations. In the model, first the impingement flux of droplets is calculated on small segments of the cylinder. Secondly, a steady-state heat equation is solved. Lozowski model is empirically fitted to numerical icing data. By comparing the data of the model with test results, it has shown to be relatively correct in its specified conditions.
