A Steady-State Thermal Model for Analysis of Incipient Icing on an Air Foil Leading Edge

A steady-state thermal model was developed for analysis of incipient icing on the leading edge of wings, fins, or inlets of small missiles or drones at subsonic flight conditions. The model was found to be helpful in predicting the effects of liquid water content on the leading-edge surface temperat...

Description
Summary:A steady-state thermal model was developed for analysis of incipient icing on the leading edge of wings, fins, or inlets of small missiles or drones at subsonic flight conditions. The model was found to be helpful in predicting the effects of liquid water content on the leading-edge surface temperature and on the free-stream static temperature in interpreting incipient icing test results. Model description, model validation, model behavior, and examples of model applications are presented. Prepared in cooperation with Technology, Inc., Arnold AFS, TN. AEDC Div.
