In this study, anti-icing problems, which are mostly industrial problems in aerospace companies, have been numerically investigated. Herein, to enhance anti-icing performance of NACA0015 , different jet-to-surface distances ( H/d ), jet angles ( α ), and slot jet designs with different aspect ratios ( AR s) have also been investigated. ANSYS Fluent 2020R2 commercial program has been utilized for all numerical calculations. In addition, the SST k-ω with low-Re correction wall treatment turbulence model has been used for solving turbulence equation. Furthermore, the average Nusselt number ( Nu ) on the NACA0015 's surface, pressure drop, and performance evaluation criteria (PEC) which define the anti-icing performance of novel proposed system have been presented section by section. As a result of the investigation, it has been obtained that the use of AR = 4 increases the Nu by 85.52% compared to circular jet for the H/d = 4 at α = 90°. The pressure drop value dramatically increases using AR = 4 around 307.85% compared to circular jet for H/d = 4 at α = 90°. Despite this drastic increment in pressure drop, the PEC value is kept as 1.14 using AR = 4, H/d = 4, and α = 90°. Finally, empirical correlations developed from existing findings have been presented with an error rate of lower than 5%.
