Icing on an aircraft is the cause of numerous adverse effects on aerodynamic performance.
Although the issue was recognized in the 1920s, the icing problem is still an area of ongoing …

In order to accurately predict the motion trajectory of ice shedding and ensure the safe flight
of aircraft, the motion characteristics of ice shedding under two-dimensional (2D) and three …

Icing is a lethal and costly aviation hazard affecting aircraft of all sizes ranging from small
UAVs to large commercial craft such as the Boeing 787, resulting in hundreds of deaths over …

In this work, we propose a formulation to evaluate aerodynamic forces for flow solutions
based on Cartesian grids, penalisation and level set functions. The formulation enables the …

Acfd simulation methodology is presented to evaluate the ice that sheds from rotating
components. The shedding detection is handled by coupling the ice accretion and stress …

The chapter presents a comprehensive 3-Dgeneric and portable computational toolset to
assess the impact of ice accretion on helicopters in hover and forward flight. This includes …

In turbofan engine, ice accretion on the fan blade may block the flow path and disturbs the
inlet flow, which will cause the decrease of the thrust and the increase of the vibration …

In helicopter, the icing rotor blades will decrease the effectiveness of the helicopter and
endanger the lives of the pilots. The asymmetrical ice break-up and shedding could also …

A fluid-structure interaction (FSI) problem of interest is the break-up of ice accreted on the
rotor blades of helicopter. Interest in ice shedding involves its three phases: ice detachment …

Ice shed from rotor blades can be a ballistic concern for conventional helicopters, tiltrotors,
wind turbines, and propellers. In conventional helicopters these ice projectiles can cause …
