Computational methodology for bleed air ice protection system parametric analysis
Hoffmann-Domingos, Rodrigo (Wichita State University, 2010-08)Aircraft in-flight icing is a major safety issue for civil aviation, having already caused hundreds of accidents and incidents related to aerodynamic degradation due to post takeoff ice accretion. Airplane makers have ... -
Computational methodology for electro-thermal ice protection system analysis
Bikkannavar, Karan Vishwanath (Wichita State University, 2016-05)The new trend in aviation industry is towards „all electric aircraft‟. Thus, there‟s a strong desire to replace bleed air systems with efficient electrical ice protection systems that would provide adequate ice protection. In ... -
Experimental and computational aerodynamic analysis of ice fragments shed from aircraft surfaces
Jacob, Joel (2006-12)Icing can pose problems due to both accretions on aircraft aerodynamic surfaces as well as through shedding of large ice particles from aircraft surfaces. The shed ice causes damage by impacting downstream aerodynamic ... -
Experimental investigation of variations of simulated ice shapes on aerodynamic performance of a finite wing
McMahon, Steven Lynn (Wichita State University, 2011-07)A multi-entry experimental study was conducted to investigate the effects of roughness, simulated ice shapes, and various combinations of roughness and simulated shapes on aerodynamic performance of a reflection plane ... -
Ice particle trajectory simulation
Suares, Ian Greg (Wichita State University, 2005-12)Large ice particles shed from an airframe can cause damage to downstream aerodynamic surfaces and aft mounted engines. A simulation tool was developed to compute the trajectories of shed ice particles and determine the ... -
Numerical and experimental investigation of ice shedding
Shimoi, Koji (Wichita State University, 2010-05)The shedding of ice accreted on aircraft surfaces poses a serious threat to flight safety as it can cause severe damage to downstream aircraft components such as aft-mounted engines. While there is strong need for ice ... -
Numerical investigation of a wing hot air ice protection system
Rodríguez, Alonso Oscar Zamora (Wichita State University, 2009-12)Aircraft icing is a recurrent aviation safety concern. In the past eight years alone, eight icing accidents involving business jets and other aircraft have occurred. The accumulation of ice on critical aerodynamic surfaces, ... -
Performance study of ground deicing and anti-icing fluids
Strong, Paul R. (Wichita State University, 2011-05)Aircraft ground deicing and anti-icing fluids are used to remove and prevent the accumulation of ice and snow on an aircraft while the aircraft is on the ground and are a key component in safe winter takeoff operations. ...
