MUSIC-haic aims to provide the aeronautic industry with an
Ice Crystal Icing (ICI) numerical capability usable for both design and certification purposes
and will bring the following main results:
 |
A better understanding of ICI physics |
 |
Updated 2D and 3D numerical tools with a validated ICI capability |
 |
Several new experimental databases to provide data for model development |
 |
Clear conclusions on tools validation level and remaining limitations at the end of the project |
 |
A comprehensive set of models to simulate ICI phenomena |
 |
A set of best numerical practices to be followed to obtain exploitable results. |
Congratulations to Yasir A. Malik from TU Braunschweig, Germany won first place in the ASE Student Paper Competition at Aviation 2022 for his work in MUSIC-haic!
The MUSIC-haic project was well represented at the 2022 AIAA Icing Conference in Chicago (27 June - 1 July 2022) with four abstracts accepted.
MUSIC-haic partners finally met for the first time in two years for an intern review on 28-29 April 2022.
In order to understand and model ice crystal icing (ICI) of aircraft turbofan engines, it is important to have a good understanding of every involved physical sub-process. One of these sub-processes is the fragmentation of ice particles which is shown in the high-speed videos produced by the icing lab of TU Darmstadt.
Last June, the SAE International Conference on Icing of Aircraft, Engines, and Structures took place in Minneapolis (USA). This quadrennial conference is where industry and academia join to discuss their latest results related to icing.
New trends, knowledge, and solutions were discussed in more than 160 oral presentations that dove into every aspect of icing. Many MUSIC-haic partners attended the conference presenting and chairing sessions, the two researchers Pierre Trontin (ONERA, WP2) and Norbert Karpen (Airbus CRT, WP1) were awarded with the Outstanding Oral Presentation Award for their contribution in the sessions “Appendix C: Modeling - Ice Accretion & Film” and "Test facilities: Icing Wind Tunnel Instrumentation".
The project partners met on 9th and 10th September 2019 in Darmstadt, Germany (meeting organisation supported by our partner TU Darmstadt).
The MUSIC-haic project is being carried out by a consortium led by ONERA, The French Aerospace Lab and made up of 13 partners from 4 different EU member states and the Russian Federation.
