For an aircraft, rotorcraft or jet engine to obtain a type
design 
certification, it must be demonstrated that it can sustain
safe flight into 
known or inadvertent icing conditions. OEMs thus embark on
complex 
icing certification campaigns that involve CFD, wind and
icing tunnel 
testing, all three being considered “simulation”, prior to
final 
demonstration of compliance through Natural Icing Flight
Testing.
Modern CFD-Icing methods, working as a direct extension of
CFD-Aero 
technologies, have become an indispensable, if not a
pri-mary tool, in the 
certification process. Such an integrated CFD-Aero +
CFD-Icing + Testing 
approach provides a cost-effective
aid-to-design-and-to-certification, 
when made part of a well-structured compliance plan.
Using “advanced and realistic” 3D icing simulations, based
on modern 
highly validated models, allows the inclusion of icing
re-quirements at the 
aerodynamic design stage, a more comprehensive exploration
of the 
combined aircraft/icing envelopes, opti-mized ice protection
system 
design, and targeted/focused/reduced wind and icing tunnels
and flight 
tests. The end result is a fast-er and safer product that is
easier to 
certificate.
This course illustrates the state-of-the-art of CFD
applications in icing 
simulations and links theory to application. It is
structured to be of equal 
interest to aerodynamicists, icing, environmental systems
and flight 
simulation engineers, regulators and Designated Engineering 
Representatives.
Knowledge of CFD is not essential. The lectures cover the
major aspects 
of in-flight icing simulation, ice protection
systemequipment, handling 
quality issues, as well as current (APP C, D & O) icing
certification 
regulations.
The instructors bring an amalgam of knowledge, as scientists
who have 
produced codes in current use and practicing engineers with
experience 
in cost-effective methods for the simulation and
certification of aircraft for 
flight into known icing conditions.
Attendees will be provided with a very large and detailed
set of notes, 
refreshed annually with the latest technological advances.
The number of 
attendees may be limited, so come and meet the who’s-who of the 
aerospace industry.
