For conductors commonly used in the high and ultra-high voltage transmission projects, research was conducted on how ice shape, ice thickness, wind speed and angle of attack affect the static aerodynamic characteristics of ice-coated conductor. The ice shape and the shape of ice-coated conductor are both important factors that determine the aerodynamic characteristics of conductor. Sudden increase of lift coefficient may happen at low angle of attack. Wind speed shows less effect on aerodynamic characteristics of ice-coated conductor with streamlined shape than that of conductor with blunt shape. Under most attack angles, aerodynamic coefficients increase as the ice thickness increases. The aerodynamic load on ice-coated conductor does not increase linearly with the diameter of conductor. |
