Air craft aerodynamics and ice accretion effects Available to Purchase

Ice accretion can significantly alter jet airplane transient response and has long been considered an important risk to aircraft aviation safety. This paper presents an overview of studies investigating the impact of ice accumulation on aviation dynamics. Methods for obtaining iced aircraft aerodynamic data, flight interactive computational methods for iced airframe, consequences of ice coalescence on aircraft structural rigidity but also flight efficiency, and aircraft icing envelope system protection adaptation have all been given special attention. To put the multiple test results into context, appropriate statistics of the critical indicators and constraints implicated in analytical and numerical icing modelling techniques, as well as key airflow testing simulation parameters and governing stream thermodynamics concerns, are presented. The precise analyses, evaluation, and comparisons of a large series of research dimensions of diverse types of mostly virtual in-flight and ground ice accretions follow, supplemented where acceptable by similar measured data for other comparable forms of contaminations and/or interruptions.
