The use of computational methods in the simulation of flight in icing conditions is an ongoing research effort by the Icing Branch at the NASA Lewis Research Center. The development of accurate, robust, well-documented, well-maintained computational tools is a major function of the research activities of the Icing Branch, in collaboration with its grantees and contractors. The goal of the Icing Branch's efforts is to provide simulation methods that can be used to aid in design, testing, certification, and qualification efforts related to flight in icing conditions. This paper will detail the current research and plans for future efforts in the development of computational tools for simulation of ice accretion, ice protection systems, the effects of ice on aircraft performance characteristics, and the behavior of aircraft systems subjected to icing conditions.
