- Content
- This ARP describes methods that are known to have been used by aircraft manufacturers to evaluate aircraft aerodynamic performance and handling effects following application of aircraft ground deicing/anti-icing fluids (“fluids”), as well as methods under development. Guidance and insight based upon those experiences are provided, including:
-
Similarity analyses.
-
Icing wind tunnel tests.
-
Flight tests.
-
CFD and other numerical analyses.
This ARP also describes:-
The history of evaluation of the aerodynamic effects of fluids.
-
The effects of fluids on aircraft aerodynamics.
-
The testing for aerodynamic acceptability of fluids for SAE and regulatory qualification performed in accordance with AS5900.
-
Additionally, Appendices A to E present individual aircraft manufacturers’ histories and methodologies, which substantially contributed to the improvement of knowledge and processes for the evaluation of fluid aerodynamic effects, and Appendix F considers the modeling of fluid removal from aerodynamic surfaces.
