Abstract
An anti-ice/de-ice system includes a component having at least one flow channel extending therethrough, a pressurized air source, and an aerodynamic resonator. The pressurized air source is configured to supply a flow of pressurized air at a first temperature. The aerodynamic resonator includes an inlet nozzle, a resonance tube, and an outlet port. The aerodynamic resonator is coupled to receive, via the inlet nozzle, the flow of pressurized air at the first temperature and configured to discharge, via the outlet port, the flow of pressurized air at a second temperature into the at least one flow channel of the component, wherein the second temperature is greater than the first temperature.
