This is a $109,818.20 three-year computational research study awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Rector & Visitors of the University of Virginia (UVA), a public research university. The objective is to develop a fundamental understanding of how highly three-dimensional, scallop-shaped ice accretions affect the aerodynamics of a modern, realistic swept wing near stall. The study will evaluate the fidelity of advanced computational fluid dynamics...
