| Description | This three-year grant began on November 7, 1996 and was no-cost extended to end on October 30, 2000. The objectives of the grant were: (1) To examine the effect of wind tunnel turbulence on ice accretion; (2) To determine the relationship between ice accretion geometry and airfoil performance; and (3) To determine if the wake-survey method was an appropriate experimental technique for iced-airfoil drag measurement. As specified in the grant the primary deliverables for this research were annual reports in the form of AIAA papers presented at national meetings each year. Masters theses and annual oral reports to be given at NASA Lewis (now Glenn) were also deliverables. Six AIAA papers documented the research findings from this study, Mr. Chad Henze's Masters thesis describes the wind tunnel turbulence work in detail, and a summary of the icing wind tunnel turbulence work was published in the archival AIAA Journal of Aircraft. A brief summary of the findings is given. Please refer to the reports for the details of the studies and findings. |
