Abstract
To investigate the formation and distribution characteristics of trapped air bubble during freezing process of water, a water slice freezing experiment is conducted in a horizontal Hele-Shaw cell. Results show two types of bubbles in ice, egg-shaped and needle-shaped, and their behavior is affected by the ice growth rate. When the rate is less than 20.6 μm/s and 9.4 μm/s, needle-shaped bubbles appear and egg-shaped bubbles disappear, respectively. When it is less than 3.1 μm/s, no bubble appears. As the ice grows, the bubble size increases first and then be constant. These results may help to optimize anti-icing/deicing technology.
