Icing Wind Tunnel Interfacility Comparison Tests
Description / Abstract:
This SAE Aerospace Information Report (AIR) presents and
discusses the results of tests of three models in six icing wind
tunnels in North America and Europe. This testing activity was
initiated by the Facility Standardization Panel of the SAE AC-9C
Aircraft Icing Technology Subcommittee. The objective of the
testing activity was to establish a benchmark that compared ice
shapes produced by icing wind tunnels available for use by the
aviation industry and to use that benchmark as a basis for dialogue
between facility owners to improve the state-of-the-art of icing
wind tunnel technology.
Purpose
The purpose of this AIR is to discuss the results of these tests. It documents that for any particular test-condition specifications the ice accretions produced in all of the participating facilities bore a broad resemblance to one another, but there were substantial facility-to-facility differences in ice shape and volume of accreted ice. Possible causes of the differences are discussed.
