Abstract

When an aircraft passes through clouds containing supercooled water droplets, it condenses into ice on the surface of the wing. Wing icing will reduce the flight envelope of the aircraft as a whole, limit the flight range and speed, and threaten flight safety. The range and intensity of icing are not only determined by meteorological conditions but also closely related to the types of airfoils. In order to study the influence of airfoils on icing, GAW-2 high lift airfoil, NLF (1)-0215F natural laminar airfoil and SC (2)-0714 supercritical airfoil are selected as the representatives of the three mainstream airfoils. The Numerical simulation method is used to analyze the influence of icing parameters on the three airfoils, summarize the icing rules and analyze the differences.
