Abstract
Marine icing can arguably be considered to be the primogenitor of icing
problems, having occasioned grief to mariners long before aircraft or
electrical transmission lines were invented. Adopting an historical
perspective, we elucidate the nature of the phenomenon and the
scientific and engineering approaches which have been embraced to
mitigate it. With a view to encouraging other scientists to address this
problem, we also identify the critical knowledge gaps which stand in
the way of a final solution, paying particular attention to recent
developments and future trends in numerical modelling and wind–tunnel
experimentation.
