Abstract
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 probability of these
particles passing through a particular downstream location. The flowfield into which the
ice particles shed was determined using CFD. The aerodynamic forces and moments
acting on the ice particles were obtained from published literature and experimental data.
Three, four and six degree of freedom trajectory simulation models were developed to
compute the trajectories of shed ice particles. Monte Carlo simulations were performed
by varying the aerodynamic and geometric properties of the ice particles to obtain a
probability map depicting the regions where the ice particles were most likely to strike.
