Predicting the aerodynamic performance of an aircraft in icing conditions is critical as failures in an aircraft’s ice protection system can compromise flight safety. Aerodynamic effects of icing have typically relied on RANS modeling, which usually struggles to predict stall behavior, including those induced by surface roughness. Encouraged by recent studies using LES that demonstrate the ability to predict stall characteristics on full aircraft with smooth wings at an affordable cost [1], this study seeks to apply this methodology to icing conditions. Measurements of lift, drag, and pitching moments of a NACA23012 airfoil under clean and iced conditions are collected at Re = 1.8M. Using laser scanned, detailed representations of the icing geometries, LES calculations are conducted to compare integrated loads against experimental measurements in both clean and iced conditions at various angles of attack through the onset of stall [2]. This study will explore several critical ice shapes to validate our approach. These include early-time rime, early-time glaze, and horn ice shapes.
