description The Eulerian Wall Film (EWF) model is a mathematical model employed to analyze the behavior of fluid films on a surface. The model has been widely adopted in various engineering applications due to its accuracy and efficiency. However, it is rarely applied in the aerospace field. The solution of the water-drop impact constitutes an indispensable prerequisite for the computation of ice accretion on the exterior of aircraft wings. In this study, we propose a novel approach for the estimation of water-drop impact on wing surfaces by integrating the Euler–Euler approach and EWF model. This approach is capable of furnishing a point of reference and a theoretical foundation for prospective water-drop impact experiments. Through comparison with pertinent experimental findings, the precision of the numerical simulation approach utilized in this paper is substantiated. Specifically, the research object is the NACA653-218 airfoil of the C-919 transport aircraft, for which the aerodynamic properties, water-drop collision, and liquid film flow characteristics during steady flight were simulated.
