For an aircraft, rotorcraft or jet engine to obtain a type
design
certification, it must be demonstrated that it can sustain safe
flight into known or inadvertent icing conditions. OEMs thus
embark on
complex icing certification campaigns that involve CFD,
experimental wind and icing tunnel testing (EFD), all three
being
considered “simulation”, prior to final demonstration of
compliance through Flight Testing in Natural Icing (FFD).
Modern CFD-Icing methods, working as a direct extension of
CFD-Aero
technologies, have become an indispensable, if not a
primary tool, in the certification process. Such an
integrated CFD-Aero
+ CFD-Icing + Testing approach provides a cost-effective
aid-to- design-and-to-certification, when made part of a well-
structured compliance plan.
Using “advanced and realistic” 3D icing simulations, based
on modern
highly validated models, allows the inclusion of icing
requirements at the aerodynamic design stage, a more
comprehensive
exploration of the combined aircraft/icing envelopes,
optimized ice protection system design, and
targeted/focused/reduced
wind and icing tunnels and flight tests. The end result is
a faster and safer product that is easier to certificate.
This course illustrates the state-of-the-art of CFD
applications in icing
simulations and links theory to application. It is structured
to be of equal interest to aerodynamicists, icing,
environmental systems
and flight simulation engineers, regulators and
Designated Engineering Representatives.
Attendees will be provided with a comprehensive set of
notes, refreshed
annually with the latest technological advances.
The number of attendees is limited to 30, so come and meet
the who’s-
who of the aerospace industry.
Registration Fees:
Knowledge of CFD is not necessary. The lectures cover the major
aspects of in-flight icing simulation, ice protection
systems analysis, handling quality issues, as well as the
latest (APP C, D
& O) icing certification regulations and the brand new
Part 23. The instructors bring an amalgam of knowledge, as
scientists
who have produced codes in current use and engineers
with certification experience, along with cost-effective
simulation
methods for certification of aircraft for flight into known
icing.
