Prediction of ice shapes and their effect on airfoil performanceCalculations of ice shapes and the resulting drag increases are presented for experimental data on an NACA 0012 airfoil. They were made with a combination of LEWICE and interactive boundary-layer codes for a wide range of conditions which include airspeed and temperature, the droplet size and liquid water content of the cloud, and the angle of attack of the airfoil. In all cases the calculated results account for the drag increase due to ice accretion and, in general, show good agreement with data.
