The ice accretion direction is assumed along the normal
direction of the surface. The icing fraction f is the mass ratio
of freezing ice and impinging water, which value ranges from 0
to 1. If the value of f is lower than 0, it means no ice deposits

Computation Model and Case Setup
The NASA Rotor 67 blade is chosen as the computational
model. It is the first stage rotor of a high-speed low aspect ratio
two-stage axial flow fan with a design pressure ratio of 1.63
and a mass flow rate of 33.25 kg/s at inlet total temperature of
288K. The total pressure at the inlet is 1atm, and the blade
rotating speed is 16043 RPM41.
A pair of periodic boundary is applied to reduce the mesh
size and boundary layer meshes are applied. The computational
domain and mesh is shown in Fig.3, which has approximate
