NUMERICAL SIMULATION OF ICE ACCRETION ON A PITOT TUBE

K. Szilder¹, P. Forsyth¹; ¹National Research Council, Canada

The objective of this contribution is to demonstrate that the developed numerical tools, which consist of CFD, drop trajectory, and ice accretion modules, are able to simulate ice accretion on pitot tubes and its dependency on anti-icing heating. Developed tools will help reduce the number of icing wind tunnel test cycles before probe certification.
