PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: 1 computer laser optical disc (CD-ROM); 4 3/4 in.; 68.7 MB. SYSTEMS DETAIL NOTE: IBM-clone PC-compatible. ABSTRACT: The NATO-RTO Task Group assessed computer codes for the prediction of ice accretion on aeroplanes which is an important flight safety issue. The following topics were treated: -- state of the art -- review codes in use or being developed -- provide reliability data for regulation and certification -- ice shape comparison methods -- critical research needs. In order to compare the detail of codes a workshop was held involving experts from various institutions and companies. This CD-ROM version of the report contains MS PowerPoint and Excel spreadsheet appendices. Appendix C is the Numerical Indexes for Experimental and Predicted Ice Shapes.
