Summary

This paper presents a comparative study of predictive methods of frost growth on flat surfaces. This study focuses on the comparison between five different existing theoretical models or empirical correlations and a database gathering almost 700 test points available in the literature. Impacts of air velocity, relative humidity and wall temperature are studied. The latter is found to have a significant impact on frost development. Quantitative and qualitative analyses of the predictive methods are proposed. This study leads to the identification of the main issues in the field of modelling of frost deposit on flat planes.
