Role in the project

Rolls-Royce is looking to become an active member in MUSIC-haic, contributing within three work packages focussed on the specification, development and evaluation of 3D tools. RR will actively work with other OEMs and research organisations to define the required accuracies, ranges to be covered, test data required and input/output data required in any 3D modelling application. A framework will be developed for the study of ice crystal icing in aeronautical gas turbine engines in RR’s in-house CFD suite, Hydra. This will consist of provision for modelling of ice crystal particle behaviour in a flow field.
