Description
Summary:The results of the AGARD FDP Working Group 20 on Ice Accretion Simulation are presented. This report covers the effect of ice accretion on wings, tail surfaces, engine inlets, and rotary wings. Experimentally, besides the capability of icing wind tunnel facilities, the problems of spray tanker aircraft experiments are considered, the related similarity laws are examined, and the techniques for measuring droplet size and distribution are reviewed. The basic factors influencing computational predictions are also discussed in detail.
