• Abstract:
  Certification for flight into known icing remains one of the more challenging goals for aircraft manufacturers. This activity has been further complicated by the current interest in large droplet icing. Due to the lack of data available on the meteorology of this phenomena, there is currently an incomplete picture of the nature of the condition and even less information on its impact on aerodynamic performance. This paper describes current simulation tools available at NASA Lewis Research Center, their capabilities, and future development goals with respect to large droplet icing simulation.
