Background

  • One of the many hazards of flying is icing, commonly caused by supercooled water droplets in clouds
  • Icing Accretion on the leading edge of an airfoil alters the airfoil profile, reducing aerodynamic performance and promotes early flow separation before reaching the critical angle
  • Little understanding on how Ice Accretion affects 3D passive flow control commonly used on airfoils such as Leading-Edge Vortex Generators (LEVGs)
