2. INTRODUCTION
๏ถ Hail is defined as precipitation in the form of small balls or irregular
lumps of ice and compact snow, each of which is called a hailstone.
๏ถ Hail is one of the most significant thunderstorm hazards to aviation.
๏ถ Hailstones accumulating on the ground can be hazardous to landing
aircraft.
๏ถ How much time and energy are required to melt hailstones?
๏ถ Acquire a fundamental understanding of melting hailstones
๏ถ Create a mathematical model that simulates the melting of a hailstone to
make better predictions of the rate at which hailstones melt, based on
conditions it is exposed to.

๏ถ Energy Conservation used to calculate rate of energy change:
๐
๐๐ก
(๐๐) + ๐ป โ ๐ = 0
where ๐ = density (constant)
๐ = energy (enthalpy)
๐ = heat flux
๏ถ Heat Flux utilized Fourierโs Law:
๐ = โ๐๐ป๐
k = thermal conductivity

1. Time stepping through the time explicit scheme for ๐ time steps

2. At each time step:
๏ถ Compute fluxes, ๐ at ๐๐
๏ถ Update ๐ธ๐ from energy conservation law
๏ถ From Equation of state find:
๏ liquid fraction, ๐๐
๏ new temperature, ๐๐

8. METHODS
๏ถ Easy and clear to understand
๏ถ One step, explicit scheme can be easily checked by hand
๏ถ The stability requirement may not impose undue restrictions in
situations where the time-step must be small for physical reasons
๏ถ Explicit schemes may turn out to be as efficient as implicit
schemes
Why use forward Euler Scheme?
9. METHODS
โจ
1. Numerical spherical model used forward Euler enthalpy method
2. Discretization of the system
๏ PDE solved numerically from control volume to control volume
3. Applies to all types of PDEs in general
4. Exact conservation and stable with CFL stability condition
5. Volume tracking scheme as opposed to a front tracking scheme
๏ does not require the melting front to be resolved
Finite Volume Method (FVM)
12. APPROXIMATE SOLUTION
Approximate solution for transient, 1-D heat conduction.
๏ถ The external surface of the sphere exchanges heat by convection
๏ถThe temperature field is governed by the heat equation in spherical coordinates:

๏ถ The local heat flux from the sphere to the surrounding is
๐ = โ(๐๐ โ ๐โ)
๏ถ Initial condition:
๐ ๐, 0 = ๐๐
๏ถ Boundary condition:

13. VERIFICATION

20. DISCUSSION/CONCLUSIONS
๏ถIntuitive result:
A relatively longer time is required to melt the center of a hailstone as compared to
the outer parts
๏ถSlightly counter-intuitive result
๏ถAffirms the challenges in melting hailstones
๏ถCase studied here is a simple case of a spherical hailstone in 1D
๏ถPossible expansion into a model that better resembles reality (variable density &
heat capacity)
๏ถStudy projected to provide insight into how to utilize the results in melting hailstones
effectively and efficiently
