Objective
The role of the project is to make an advance towards a better understanding of the runback ice formation mechanisms on aircraft wings, empennage and engine air intakes through experimental and theoretical research and to provide recommendations on the choice of efficient ice protection coatings for flying vehicles. This will help to increase safety of air flights in icing conditions. Thus, the project is aimed at collaborating its effort towards achieving the double and five-fold reduction of aircraft accident rate in the short and long terms respectively, which is one of the goals set for the year 2020 by the Strategic Research Agenda provided by the Advisory Council for Aeronautics Research in Europe (ACARE).
In order to solve the abovementioned problems related to runback ice formation on the aero-dynamic surfaces and aeroengine air intakes, the team of experienced scientists will perform the following work within the frames of the ICE-TRACK project:
• conduct tests of the 30 surface profile samples provided by the relevant SFWA mem-ber in artificial icing conditions in the range of outside temperatures between 0С and -30С, liquid water content 0,2-2,5 g/m3, air flow speed up to 100 m/s and with given water droplets sizes;
• investigate runback ice formation processes;
• measure forces of ice adhesion to the surfaces;
• provide recommendations concerning the choice ofthe most promising surfaces.
