Abstract

The present work has the aim of coupling two codes, one able to perform icing simulations and another one capable to simulate the performance of an electro-thermal anti-icing system in an integrated fashion. In fact, the classical tool chain of icing simulation (aerodynamics, water catch and impact, mass and energy surface balance) is coupled to the thermal analysis through the surface substrate and the ice thickness. In general, the substrate consists of a multi-layered composite with different properties for each layer and embedded heaters (resistors) at interfaces between layers. In the present approach, the ice protection simulation is not decoupled from the ice accretion simulation, but a single computational workflow is considered. Validation results obtained on benchmark test cases from NASA database will be detailed as well as comparison with numerical results from other authors.
