2nd Ice Prediction Workshop

- Date: June, 2023

- Organizer: Dr. Andy Broeren (NASA Glenn)

- Participants: Soonho Shon (Team Lead), Yonghwan Kim, Yu-Eop Kang, Younghyo Kim, Hansol Lee

- Summary:
Our team presented the performance evaluation of ICEPAC, an in-house icing simulation code, using the 2nd AIAA Ice Prediction Workshop test cases. The study focused on 3D hybrid wing and 2D low-speed airfoil icing, highlighting the effects of void ice density, multi-bin droplet models, and roughness calibration. ICEPAC showed good agreement with experimental results, demonstrating its potential for accurate ice shape prediction across various flight conditions.
