The course covers the fundamentals of icing, the
certification process, and the role of CFD as an
increasingly acceptable means of compliance.

In the afternoon sessions, demonstrations are made using
FENSAP-ICE, and the course has proven to be an important
source of sales of the product, and a great forum for
potential users to interact and exchange points of view.

Description:

 

For an aircraft, rotorcraft or jet engine to obtain a type  

design certification, it must be demonstrated that it can  

sustain safe flight into known or inadvertent icing  

conditions. OEMs thus embark on complex icing certification  

campaigns that involve CFD, wind and icing tunnel testing,  

all three being considered “simulation”, prior to final  

demonstration of compliance through Natural Icing Flight  

Testing.  

Using “advanced and realistic” 3D icing simulations, based  

on modern highly validated models, allows the inclusion of  

icing re-quirements at the aerodynamic design stage, a more  

comprehensive exploration of the combined aircraft/icing  

envelopes, opti-mized ice protection system design, and  

targeted/focused/reduced wind and icing tunnels and flight  

tests. The end result is a fast-er and safer product that  

is easier to certificate.  

This course illustrates the state-of-the-art of CFD  

applications in icing simulations and links theory to  

application. It is structured to be of equal interest to  

aerodynamicists, icing, environmental systems and flight  

simulation engineers, regulators and Designated Engineering  

Representatives.   

nowledge of CFD is not essential. The lectures cover the  

major aspects of in-flight icing simulation, ice protection  

system equipment, handling quality issues, as well as  

current (APP C, D & O) icing certification regulations. 

The instructors bring an amalgam of knowledge, as  

scientists who have produced codes in current use and  

practicing engineers with experience in cost-effective  

methods for the simulation and certification of aircraft  

for flight into known icing conditions. 

Attendees will be provided with a very large and detailed  

set of notes, refreshed annually with the latest  

technological advances. The number of attendees may be  

limited, so come and meet the who’s-who of the aerospace  

industry.  

The course will be held at the Best Western Ville-Marie  

Hotel & Suites, Quebec, Canada, from April 4th to April  

8th, 2016. Attendees are invited to bring their own laptops  

on which tutorial software will be installed. The tutorials  

will be run on your own PC.
