Severe icing conditions can lead to an 11.1% loss of lift and a 48.2% increase in drag at a 12° angle of attack.
The drag coefficient increases by 36.5% for large droplets, indicating significant aerodynamic degradation during icing.
A multiphysics computational model confirms the effectiveness of the electro-thermal de-icing system under various conditions.
Unheated areas on the airfoil experience excessive ice buildup, suggesting a need for additional heater coverage in extreme conditions.
