Abstract
A numerical model for the estimation of ice accretion on two-dimensional sections of wind turbine blades was presented by the authors at IWAIS 1993. Further work has improved the accuracy and stability of the model. In particular, the special flow conditions (slower wind speeds and higher attack angles than for aircraft applications) require greater precision in the potential flow solution, and result in some interesting distributions of local collision efficiency. Comparisons with wind tunnel results led to new formulations for the local density distribution, and for the growth direction model.
