Icing Physics and Ice Accretion Simulation
DATE: 23-24 March 2027
LOCATION: online / on-site: Waterloosesteenweg, 72, 1640 Sint-Genesius-Rode, Belgium - near Brussels
ABOUT THE COURSE
The purpose of this hybrid course (online/on-site) is to provide a comprehensive overview of icing physics and its applications in aeronautics and energy systems. The first part of the course will introduce and discuss the fundamental principles of icing physics, emphasizing the link between meteorological conditions, icing mechanisms, and certification requirements.
The second part will cover numerical simulation methods for ice accretion, icing wind tunnel testing, ice detection technologies, and ice protection systems, followed by discussions on icing challenges for UAVs and wind turbines.
This course will be delivered by internationally recognized experts and is designed for students, researchers, and industry professionals interested in understanding icing physics and addressing related real-world challenges.
The course director are Professor Serkan Özgen from METU in Türkiye and Dr. Nicolas Coudou from the von Karman Institute for Fluid Dynamics.
