Synopsis

Draws together the known theories of icing models as applied to simple structures, especially power transmission lines. Employs concepts of heat and mass transfer, continuum mechanics, linear and nonlinear evolution equations governing the icing process, moving boundary techniques involving perturbation theory, and matched asymptotic expansions. Describes numerical algorithms and compares theoretical dynamical models with observations whenever possible. Also presents a number of approaches to preventing ice accretion.

Synopsis

This text surveys research carried out independently in many countries into the icing of structures, particularly in relation to transmission lines and telecommunication towers, and presents the current position of the theory of atmospheric icing on simple structures. A comprehensive account of the mathematical formulation of such "real-world" problems is given, and many new methods for their solution are described. The book includes mathematical models drawn from meteorological, as well as civil, electrical and aeronautical engineering fields.
