Course Objectives
- To arise a conciousness related to aircraft icing.
- To create an opportunity to combine knowledge on topics related to basic and engineering sciences together with topics related to Aerospace Engineering and to apply them for a practical cause.
- To contribute to the computing and programming skills of the students.
- To prepare and/or support the students in their professional career, since icing, icing prediction and icing certification are important issues related to design.
- To introduce topics that are important for aviation but somehow not covered in the formal Aerospace Engineering Education (i.e. meteorology).
Course Content
Introduction.Mateorological aspects.Icing Physics.Parameters affecting icing. Ice accretion prediction: supercooled droplet trajectories,droplet impact,droplet collection efficiency, thermodynamic analysis,ice growth rates.Extended Messinger Model.Runback water. 2-D and 3-D ice accretion simulation.Supercooled large droplets.Icing related to ice crystals.Icing certification (Federal Aviation Regulations,Part 25,Appendix C,D and O).
Course Learning Outcomes
- To familiarize the students with the methods, tools and procedures used in atmospheric icing simulation.
- To improve the abilities of the students to apply knowledge of mathematics and aeronautical engineering through a term project assignment.
- To improve written and oral communication and research.
- To arise an awareness for contemporary issues and airworthiness requirements related to aircraft icing.
- To provide an environment to use techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for icing simulation.
