Numerical simulation of airfoil aerodynamic performance under the coupling effects of heavy rain and ice accretion

It has been widely investigated before that both heavy rain and icing conditions can cause severe aerodynamic performance penalties to aircraft in flight; however, aircraft aerodynamics in the presence of both heavy rain and ice accretion has been little explored so far. In this article, a numerical...
