The numerical simulation of flow about ice accretion shapes has been accomplished by solving the Navier-Stokes equations using MacCormack's explicit finite difference scheme. The computations were performed on a CRAY-XMP computer. The influence of turbulence is taken into account by means of an algebraic eddy-viscosity model. In order to optimize the grid spacing and to achieve near orthogonality at the surface of the complex ice shapes, a hyperbolic grid generation scheme is utilized. Particular attention is given to the heat transfer process for which good agreement between the numerical and experimental results is achieved. In addition, liquid water droplet trajectories are coupled within the flowfield along with the resulting collection efficiencies using a parabolized Navier-Stokes formulation.
