Aerodynamics and Flight Mechanics
Goal: Improve the safety of aircraft in icing conditions.
Objective: 1) Develop steady state icing characterization
methods and identify aerodynamic sensors.
2) Develop linear and nonlinear iced aircraft
models.
3) Identify envelope protection needs and
methods.
Approach: First use Twin Otter and tunnel data to develop
a linear clean and iced model. Then develop a
nonlinear model with tunnel and CFD data. Use
the models to develop characterization and
envelope protection.

Neural Networks
Based on the structure of the human brain, with
multiple neurons and synapses
Each neuron multiplies its inputs by synaptic
weights to achieve an output
Very good at handling and fitting data that have
complex, nonlinear correlations
Must be trained with a set of known data
For the SIS Project, the Matlab Neural Net
Toolbox has been used

Need for DES
RANS does not give robust solution to massively
separated flow and this may prevent accurate
prediction of C
l,max
(especially for iced airfoils)
Solution: Employ eddy-capturing scheme to
handle large-separation regions
Possible Choices:
LES (Large Eddy Simulation) uses subgrid filter to
capture large scales
DNS (Direct Numerical Simulation) resolves all scales
DES (Detached Eddy Simulation) allows LES in free
shear regions and RANS in attached flow

Conclusions
NSU2D reasonably predicts the trends of all the
aerodynamic forces and moments for upper
surface icing on NACA 23012m and NLF 0414
(but C
l,max
not robust)
WIND-RANS predictions agree reasonably well
with experimental results for leading-edge icing
for NLF 0414
WIND-DES has been developed and captures
the coherent structures in the free shear layer
for backstep flow

Future Work
Apply WIND-RANS to 2D ice-shapes on other
airfoils (in particular the Twin Otter wing and
tailplane) for the 2D aerodynamic net database
Extend WIND-RANS to 3D iced wings for the
3D aerodynamic net database
Apply WIND-DES to iced airfoils and wings to
allow improved C
l,max
and predict unsteady
hinge moments
(Far term) Apply WIND-DES to simultaneously
model wing and tail with unsteady ice accretion

FDC Validation
The FDC Code is validated by comparing the
response of a doublet to published NASA
data (AIAA 99-0636) for the Twin Otter
aircraft
The validation results are published in AIAA
2000-0360
The response of other Twin Otter models to
the elevator doublet are also observed

Atmospheric Turbulence and Noise
The turbulence model used in the FDC 1.3 steady state
analysis is based on the Dryden spectral density
distribution
Turbulence intensity can be varied and are
characterized by the effect on the aircraft z-acceleration
Sensor noise magnitudes are twice the uncertainty
values given in AIAA 93-0398 and are modeled as
band limited white Gaussian distributions
The effects of turbulence provide an overlap between
the quasi-steady characterization and the dynamic
characterization

Effects of Filtering
Filters are applied to data obtained from the constant
power cruise flight conditions, in the clean and iced
configurations. The initial trim values for the Twin
Otter are:
V = 160 kts
h = 9000 ft
A/C RMS z-acceleration = 0.15g
The data, sampled at variable time steps, is post-
filtered using low-pass Butterworth filters

potential use of hinge moment sensors as
aerodynamic performance monitors
C
h
and C
h_rms
capture the effects of icing on the
flow field over the airfoil surface.
C
h_rms
is the RMS of the unsteady hinge moment,
which is a measure of flow field separation due to
ice accretion
Models based on hinge moment measurements
taken at UIUC on a NACA 23012 airfoil with
quarter round ice-shapes (AIAA 99-3149)

Determining Ice Location
An analysis of the aerodynamic outputs
shows the difficulty in determining the
location of ice the tail ice encounter
resembles a less severe all aircraft icing
encounter
The increase in drag due to ice accretion
dominate the aerodynamic outputs in both tail
and all aircraft iced cases

Hinge Moment Sensors
The wing and tail hinge moments are calculated
for the aileron and elevator deflections
respectively
The values used for the tail is based on the
Twin Otter horizontal tail chord length of 4.75 ft.
A linearized relationship between the wing and
tail icing severity parameter is used

maintained by the autopilot, was considered

Conclusion
Use of
ice
parameter provides a simple model to
determine iced aircraft data
Effect of ice on V, , and
e
for the constant power case
are significant, and could be used to characterize the
accretion
Effects of turbulence and sensor noise can be filtered.
Flight maneuvers increase the apparent effects of ice
and improve the potential for ice detection
The use of hinge-moment data to distinguish tail from
wing ice is encouraging

Introduction
Concerns about false alarms in the Smart Icing
System were raised at Reno 2000
Since the effects of windshear and other atmospheric
disturbances may be similar to icing, false alarms in
the Smart Icing System could possibly occur
The SIS should be able to distinguish quickly
between the icing and atmospheric disturbances so
appropriate recovery maneuvers can be executed
Preliminary analysis of the effects of microbursts will
determine if further research is required
Smart Icing Systems NASA Review, J une 13-14, 2000
2-96
Objectives
To devise a simple, but physically representative, model
of the effect of microbursts, gravity waves, and other
atmospheric disturbances on aircraft flight mechanics.
Then use this model to evaluate the effects on the SIS
system.
To evaluate concerns of possible false alarms of the
SIS due to atmospheric disturbances

Comparision
A FDC trajectory was compared to results
from, Target Pitch Angle for the Microburst
Escape Maneuver by S. Mulgund and R.
Stengel, JoA, 1993
Due to current limitations in the FDC the
exact aircraft maneuver could not be
simulated
Both aircraft were light twin-turboprops
Instead of a Target Pitch Angle (TPA) escape
maneuver a maximum power maneuver was
used

Comparison to an Icing Case
Microburst rates of change were larger than
the worst icing case initially, but after a long
icing encounter the rates were comparable
These large differences sould make it
straightforward to distinguish between icing
and wind shear encounters
Altitude is maintained for the icing case, but
not in the microburst case
In addition dynamic identification data would
be available to help identify windshear as well
Smart Icing Systems NASA Review, J une 13-14, 2000
2-113
Conclusions
Initial analysis of the microbursts
demonstrated that the encounters would be
distinguishable
Effects are similar but of different magnitude
or occur at different times (late in the
encounter)
Different strategies for recovery needed
Very important not to misinterpret the encounter
Still need to address the gravity waves and
other atmospheric disturbances
Smart Icing Systems NASA Review, J une 13-14, 2000

Future Work
Validate the FDC windshear model
Add icing to the windshear encounters
Possibly develop a windshear neural
network to detect windshear
Analyze the effect other atmospheric
encounters, gravity waves, etc
Need a simple model for gravity waves

Conclusions
Linear icing effects model,
ice
, is almost finalized
Initial results from neural net analysis for prediction of
2-D flight performance parameters are promising
Effect of ice on V, , and
e
for the constant power case
are significant, and could be used to characterize the
accretion.
The use of hinge-moment data to distinguish tail from
wing ice is encouraging.
CFD reasonably predicts important trends. Moving to
WIND-DES for better max lift prediction.
Initial analysis of the microbursts demonstrated that the
encounters would be distinguishable.

Future Research
Continue exploration of neural nets for prediction of iced
aircraft characteristics.
Validate a fully nonlinear force and moment model.
Improve the hinge moment models.
Develop envelope protection strategies.
Apply WINDS-DES to iced airfoils to improve maximum
lift prediction.
Analyze the effect other atmospheric encounters, gravity
waves, etc.
