Atmospheric icing, also called in-flight icing, is a common hazard for the operation of
uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs). With the background of a growing commercial and military …

The AIAA 2nd Ice Prediction Workshop (IPW-2) assembled varied specialists to perform
numerical validation benchmarks towards assessing the state-of-the-art in aircraft ice …

Electrothermal de-icing systems are a popular approach to protect unmanned aerial
vehicles (UAVs) from the performance degradation caused by in-cloud icing. However, their …

Atmospheric in-flight icing poses a challenge to all aircraft including unmanned aerial
vehicles (UAVs). Aircraft should avoid icing conditions unless they have ways of mitigating …

This paper presents the results of in-flight icing simulations done by Ansys using FENSAP-
ICE and Fluent for the participation in the 2nd AIAA Ice Prediction Workshop. The workshop …

Ice accretion is inevitable on fix-wing UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles) when they are
applied to surveillance and mapping over colder climates and arctic regions. Subsequent …

Propellers are the most sensitive part of uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs) to atmospheric in-
flight icing. Ice accumulation on a propeller will degrade performance and limit operational …

The paper gives an overview of the CIRA results for the 2nd Ice Prediction Workshop which
was taken last year during the SAE International Conference on Icing of Aircraft, Engines …

This paper presents the three ice accretion cases from the 2nd AIAA Ice Prediction
Workshop carried out by Polytechnique Montreal, using the in-house ice accretion software …

In-flight icing negatively influences the aerodynamics of fixed-wing uncrewed aerial vehicles
(UAVs), potentially leading to mission failure or loss of the aircraft. To evaluate the adverse …
