Technical reviews of the papers from the AGARD Fluid Dynamics Panel Specialists' Meeting on Effects of Adverse Weather on Aerodynamics held 29th April-1 May 1991 in Toulouse, France, are presented in this Technical Evaluation Report. In addition, some general discussion, conclusions and recommendations are given. The purpose of the meeting was to provide an update of the state-of- the-art with respect to the prediction, simulation and measurement of the effects of icing, anti-icing fluids and various forms of precipitation on the aerodynamic characteristics of flight vehicles. Sessions were devoted to introductory and survey papers and icing certification issues, to analytical and experimental simulation of ice frost contamination and its effects on aerodynamics, and to the effects of heavy rain and deicing/anti-icing fluids.
