Based on the airflow conditions at an altitude of 10km, the volume of fluid method (VOF) is used to simulate the flow process of flat liquid film at Mach 0.9 and Mach 1.5. The effects of the velocity, thickness and temperature of the liquid film on the distribution and rupture position of liquid film under high-speed airflow are analyzed. It is found that the contact angle between the liquid film and the wall decreases with the increase of the liquid film velocity. When the thickness of liquid film is constant, the rupture position of liquid film is delayed downstream with the increase of liquid film velocity. In addition, when the liquid film velocity is constant, the rupture position of the liquid film is delayed downstream with the increase of the liquid film thickness. For the same liquid film flow rate, the rupture resistance of thick liquid film with low flow rate is greater. With the increase of liquid film temperature, the viscosity of liquid film decreases, the local Weber number of liquid film increases, and the rupture position of liquid film moves upstream.
