Atmospheric icing presents a critical hazard for low Reynolds number airfoils commonly used in wing designs of small unmanned aerial systems (UAS). Even minor surface contamination can lead to significant aerodynamic performance degradation. This research investigates the phenomena of ice accretion through numerical simulations tailored to airflow with Reynolds numbers between 100,000 and 300,000. A study presents numerical simulation of high camber airfoil commonly used in unmanned aircraft design. The simulation framework use a coupled thermodynamic and aerodynamic simulation that results in the shapes of ice accreted at flight in icing conditions with low airspeed common for such systems.

摘要

Atmospheric icing presents a critical hazard for low Reynolds number airfoils commonly used in wing designs of small unmanned aerial systems (UAS). Even minor surface contamination can lead to significant aerodynamic performance degradation. This research investigates the phenomena of ice accretion through numerical simulations tailored to airflow with Reynolds numbers between 100,000 and 300,000. A study presents numerical simulation of high camber airfoil commonly used in unmanned aircraft design. The simulation framework use a coupled thermodynamic and aerodynamic simulation that results in the shapes of ice accreted at flight in icing conditions with low airspeed common for such systems.
