Icing in conditions where clouds contain both liquid and solid phase particles has attracted considerable interest in recent years due to numerous in-flight incidents including engine rollbacks in the vicinity of deep convective clouds in tropical regions. These incidents have prompted certification authorities to investigate and extend the icing conditions to include solid and mixed-phase clouds for airworthiness certification. These efforts have resulted in the amendments issued by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) to the certification specifications of large aircraft, FAR-25 and CS-25, respectively. Flight tests, laboratory tests and computer simulations are among the acceptable means to show compliance with these specifications. Considerable effort has been spent worldwide in order to develop icing simulation software for liquid phase clouds in the past four decades, but until recently, most of these software did not have the capability for solid-or mixed-phase clouds. One of the aims of the High Altitude Ice Crystals (HAIC) project funded by the European Commission within Framework Program 7 is to address this shortcoming. The present study combines the models related to solid-and mixed-phase icing that is developed within HAIC with an in-house numerical tool. The tool has four modules; a flow-field solution module that uses the Hess-Smith panel method, a module for computing droplet and ice crystal trajectories and collection efficiencies using the Lagrangian approach, a thermodynamic module, and an ice accretion module that utilises the Extended Messinger Model. The numerical tool is tested against experimental test cases including liquid and mixed-phase conditions for various aerofoil and axisymmetric intake geometries. The agreement of the obtained results with experimental data is encouraging.

Experiences with parallel ice accretion simulations of airplane wings using openfoam Akay, Hasan Umur; Edeeb, Seghaer Hossein; Özgen, Serkan (null; 2019-05-14) Ice accretion on aircraft components starts when an aircraft flies through atmospheric clouds containing supercooled liquid droplets, which have a temperature below freezing point but are still in a liquid state. Ice accretion occurs when water droplets impinge and freeze on the unprotected frontal regions of aircraft surfaces. The accumulated ice on aircraft components degrades the aircraft performance and causes serious flight problems. In this study, a computational fluid dynamics package is developed us...

Acoustic tracking of ship wakes Önür, Çağla; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2013) Theories about ship wake structure, bubble dynamics, acoustic propagation through bubble clouds, backscattering and target strength of bubble clouds have been investigated and related Matlab simulations have been carried on. Research has been carried on algorithms for ship wake acoustic detection and tracking. Particle filter method has been simulated with Matlab for target tracking using wake echo measurements. Simulation results are promising.
Modeling kinetics and thermodynamics of amine based fuel and oxidizer interactions Özkan Özer, Melike; Üner, Deniz; Aviyente, Viktorya; Department of Chemical Engineering (2021-9) This study is conducted to develop a model for the parameters that determine the ignition delay time during hypergolic combustion of liquid bipropellants in rocket engines. Hypergolic combustion utilizes the heat of mixing between the fuel and the oxidizer for ignition. A model study is conducted in order to understand the role of heat of mixing on the final temperature and final distribution of species between a vapor and a liquid phase. Water and nitric acid were selected as model compounds, due to ...
In-Flight Icing Simulations on Airfoils Uğur, Nermin; Özgen, Serkan; Görgülü, İlhan; Tatar, Volkan (Springer, 2016-01-01) It is crucial to predict the ice mass, shape and regions of the airframe which are prone to icing in order to design and develop de/anti-icing systems for aircraft and airworthiness certificatlon. İn the current study, droplet collection efticiency and ice shape predictions are performed using an originally developed computational tool for a wing tip for which experimental and numerical data are available. Ice accretilon modeling consists of four steps in the developed compu- tational tool: flow field solu...
