Abstract
The problem of flow field simulation for iced wing configurations is a complex one that severely taxes
existing capabilities for geometry modeling, mesh generation, and flow solvers. In this report, we focus on
activities associated with the first year of a three-year program to develop a software package to facilitate the
numerical simulation of viscous flows around iced wing configurations. We investigated various geometry
modeling and mesh generation technologies to evaluate their effectiveness for application to the iced wing
problem. Based on these evaluations, we developed a basic strategy for attacking the problem. Further, we
were able to demonstrate the complete process—from geometry to mesh to flow solution—for a complex
iced wing configuration.
