Abstract
Modern software systems have implemented calculation techniques that allow numerical modeling of the icing of various aerodynamic objects and show themselves well when modeling the icing of objects at subsonic speeds. This paper describes a technique that is used to solve the problem of icing the profile of a NASA SC (2)-0714 airfoil streamlined by a supersonic gas stream. A feature of modeling this class of problems is the consideration of factors that arise when moving at high speeds: at supersonic flight speed, aerodynamic heating of the surface above 0 °C is observed, which is accompanied by a high intensity of impinging supercooled water droplets on this surface. The results of the numerical solution of the NASA SC (2)-0714 airfoil icing problem showed that even at a positive airfoil surface temperature, ice shapes can grow at the leading edge due to intense deposition of supercooled droplets.
