Iceg2d (V2.0) - An Integrated Software Package for Automated Prediction of Flow Fields for Single-Element Airfoils with Ice Accretion

By National Aeronautics and Space Administration

An integrated geometry/grid/simulation software package, ICEG2D, is being developed to automate computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations for single- and multi-element airfoils with ice accretions. The current version, ICEG213 (v2.0), was designed to automatically perform four primary functions: (1) generate a grid-ready surface definition based on the geometrical characteristics of the iced airfoil surface, (2) generate high-quality structured and generalized grids starting from a defined surface definition, (3) generate the input and restart files needed to run the structured grid CFD solver NPARC or the generalized grid CFD solver HYBFL2D, and (4) using the flow solutions, generate solution-adaptive grids. ICEG2D (v2.0) can be operated in either a batch mode using a script file or in an interactive mode by entering directives from a command line within a Unix shell. This report summarizes activities completed in the first two years of a three-year research and development program to address automation issues related to CFD simulations for airfoils with ice accretions. As well as describing the technology employed in the software, this document serves as a users manual providing installation and operating instructions. An evaluation of the software is also presented.Thompson David S. and Soni, Bharat K.Glenn Research CenterAPPLICATIONS PROGRAMS (COMPUTERS); AIRFOILS; COMPUTER PROGRAMS; FLOW DISTRIBUTION; ICE FORMATION; COMPUTATIONAL FLUID DYNAMICS; COMPUTATIONAL GRIDS; INSTALLING; RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT; SIMULATION; STRUCTURED GRIDS (MATHEMATICS); UNIX (OPERATING SYSTEM); USER MANUALS (COMPUTER PROGRAMS)...
