Numerical Study of an Iced Airfoil Using Window-Embedded RANS/LES Hybrid Method

Modeling In-Flight Ice Accretion Under Uncertain Conditions

“…These experiments led to the establishing of a database including a large number of ice shapes that can accrete on aircraft wings in different operating conditions [16][17][18][19]. The comparison of numerical predictions against observations allows for model testing and for their fine-tuning [20][21][22], including the investigation of wind tunnel effects on ice accretion experiments [23] and the investigation of the aerodynamics of a swept wing with leading-edge ice accretion [24][25][26][27][28].…”
