Fig. 15.14 Comparison of both PoliMIce and LEWICE solvers and Myers model against experimental ice accretion shapes during the glaze ice regime on a symmetric NACA0012 with an angle
of attack of 4 ◦ [60]
Fig. 15.15 Comparison of the PoliMIce solver and NASA IRT experimental ice accretion shapes
at a long icing time on a GLC-305 airfoil at an angle of attack of 6 ◦ [60]
The third simulation was conducted over a long period of time meaning the ice
thickness is large and is shown in Fig. 15.15. This simulation was compared against
the experimental results presented by Addy et al. [91] in the NASA IRT wind tunnel
facility. This simulation was conducted on a non-symmetric GLC-305 airfoil at an
angle of attack of 6 ◦ .
15.4 Ice Protection Systems and Certification
The accretion of ice over aircraft surfaces has been found as a major hazard for
the performance and safety of aircraft as it was presented in the Sect. 15.2. The
UK’s Civil Aviation Authority [10] encouraged the pilots to have a clear situational
awareness to avoid or minimize the exposure to icing conditions. However, in some
occasions the exposure is unavoidable and consequently it is crucial to equip aircraft
