Abstract
In order to be able to predict the local ice accretion rate or the icing profile on an airfoil, it is necessary that a suitable heat transfer coefficient model be availabIe. A computer program has been developed which is capable of predicting the local heat transfer coefficient for a typical two dimensional icing surface. Because of the charecteristics of an icing surface, an existing computer program (STAN5) has been modified to include the effects of the following surface roughness surface curvature and boundary layer transition.
The computer program for the heat transfer coefficient has then been used with an existing computer icing program and the results compared with experimental and theoretical results of icing studies. The effects of surface roughness on the icing profile have been discussed. The results of the computer program are seen to compare quite favourably with published results.
