Summary
A 2-D multi-element airfoil code was modified to study the effects of icing on the aerodynamic characteristics of high lift systems. In each zone of the flow field, the solver numerically integrates the 2-D compressible Navier-Stokes equations using a time marching scheme. The surface pressure distribution is generated over a GAW 130 airfoil/flap combination for a flap setting of 25 degrees, and an angle of attack equal to 5 degrees, at a freestream Mach number equal to 0.3. A series of calculations were performed to determine the effects of small scale ice build up on the high lift characteristics of this arifoil/flap combination. The appendix summarizes this progress. Joint studies on correlation of a 3-D iced wing code with experimental data reviewed new measured laser Doppler velocimeter data in the separated region behind the leading edge ice shape. A version of the iced wing analysis using the Roe scheme was developed to evaluate the poor correlation between the computed and measured velocities in the separated region. Work on the extension of the wing-alone analysis to wing body configuration began with modifications to the 3-D iced wing analyses to accept externally generated grids and multi-block grids.
