Study of atmospheric ice accretion on a non-rotating vertical circular cylindrical object was carried\nout at dry and wet ice conditions. Both numerical and experimental techniques were used\nduring this study. 3D numerical study was carried out using computational fluid dynamics based\napproach, whereas experimental study was carried out at Cryospheric Environmental Simulator\nââ?¬Ë?CESââ?¬â?¢ in Shinjo, Japan. A good agreement was found between experimental and numerical results.\nThe dimensions of the cylindrical object used to measure the atmospheric ice load on structures\nalong this study, were selected as per the ISO12494 standard. Results provide useful information\nabout ice growth and intensity along circular cylindrical objects at different atmospheric temperatures.\nThis research work also provides a useful base for further investigation of atmospheric\nice accretion on structures particularly circular power network cables, & tower masts installed in\nthe cold regions.
