ABSTRACT


This paper presents a study in which an attempt has been made to reduce ice accretion of aircraft wings by optimizing the design parameters using Taguchi method. CFD have been used for simulating ice accretion in various conditions. The effects of the seven design parameters such as altitude, angle of attack, yaw angle, icing temperature, air speed, characteristic length and median volume diameter (MVD) are investigated. The analysis of the results then are shown in S/N ration plots which indicating which combination of parameters leads to minimize ice accretion. Analysis of variance demonstrates that, among the design parameters, as opposed to characteristic length and altitudes, having the lowest effect, MVD and air speed have the highest one. In the end, a general linear model for the amount of ice is obtained to show a proper correlation between the mass of ice created and other parameters.
