The paper describes the upgrade and validation of a Cartesian solver able of estimating the mass deposition of super-cooled large droplets (SLD) on aerodynamic surfaces. A decoupled approach is applied in which the air-flow field is first computed by using a RANS method and then passed to an Eulerian solver for obtaining the water-field. Both tools are based on a finite-volume (FV) approach based on locally refined Cartesian meshes and immersed boundaries. The use of semi-empirical models allow to take into account the primary effects due to splashing and bouncing of large droplets on aerodynamic surfaces. Here, we discuss the results of a numerical campaign with the aim of estimating the accuracy of two mass-deposition models on benchmarks from different experimental databases. Besides, for some cases we compare the present results with the ones obtained by using a body-conforming method.
