Abstract
Aircraft ground deicing plays an important role of guaranteeing the aircraft safety. In practice, most airports generally
use as many deicing fluids as possible to remove the ice, which causes the waste of the deicing fluids and the pollution of
the environment. Therefore, the model of aircraft ground deicing should be built to establish the foundation for the sub-
sequent research, such as the optimization of the deicing fluid consumption. In this article, the heat balance of the deicing
process is depicted, and the dynamic model of the deicing process is provided based on the analysis of the deicing
mechanism. In the dynamic model, the surface temperature of the deicing fluids and the ice thickness are regarded as
the state parameters, while the fluid flow rate, the initial temperature, and the injection time of the deicing fluids are
treated as control parameters. Ignoring the heat exchange between the deicing fluids and the environment, the simplified
model is obtained. The rationality of the simplified model is verified by the numerical simulation and the impacts of the
flow rate, the initial temperature and the injection time on the deicing process are investigated. To verify the model, the
semi-physical experiment system is established, consisting of the low-constant temperature test chamber, the ice simula-
tion system, the deicing fluid heating and spraying system, the simulated wing, the test sensors, and the computer mea-
sure and control system. The actual test data verify the validity of the dynamic model and the accuracy of the simulation
analysis.
