To achieve the project aims, the project is broken into 11 Work Packages, the first 2 WPs dealing with both exploitation/dissemination and project management and 9 WPs tackling the technical understanding and developing the technologies.

Work Packages Details

Lead: AIRBUS
Objectives:

  • Ensure the high quality of work performed in the project
  • Monitor contractual commitments
  • Ensure a good coordination between partners
  • Manage project risks

Lead: ARTTIC
Objectives:

  • Set up and maintain dissemination and exploitation tools for partners and the project,
  • Ensure ICE GENESIS results are disseminated towards the European aeronautical industry, academia and general European public,
  • Set up and coordinate communication with key international organisations and companies through the ICE GENESIS Advisory Board,
  • Manage the protection of results and handle any arising intellectual property issues

Lead: LEONARDO
Objectives:                                                   

  • Provide requirements for test capability needed for SLD and snow;
  • Consolidate all specifications and plans for experimental tests;
  • Perform a review of existing experimental data and icing models for liquid icing and snow conditions to support basic experimental activity and modelling activity in WP9 and WP10;
  • Plan and perform test follow-up by participants

Lead: DLR
Objectives:

  • Develop and select the most appropriate instrumentation to enhance the capacities of W/T facilities, to support the calibration of W/T facilities and to secure the results of experiments at appendix C/O icing conditions.

Lead: CNRS
Objectives:                                                   

  • Assess and select the most appropriate cloud microphysical instrumentation to characterize snow icing conditions to support ground-based snow measurements, flight tests, and the calibration of test facilities
  • Quantify the microphysical properties (3D size, crystal mass, mass-size relation, fractal dimension, differentiation dry and wet snow, number and mass size distributions) of individual snow crystals as well as entire snow crystal populations (per volume of air) of snow conditions

Lead: CIRA
Objectives:

  • Improve test capabilities to generate or reproduce representative SLD FZDZ natural cloud conditions and to assess potentiality for FZRA simulation in large wind tunnel
  • Define a common calibration methodology & to calibrate test facilities

Lead: RTA
Objectives:

  • Improve test capabilities for simulation of snow conditions (snow generation close to natural snow properties)
  • Define a common calibration methodology & to calibrate test facilities

Lead: DASSAV
Objectives:

  • Define, design and manufacture the test specimen
  • Perform wind tunnel tests in liquid icing and snow conditions, and deliver test results
  • Create of an experimental database containing results from Wind tunnel tests

Lead: ONERA
Objectives:

  • Improve and validate current 2D and 3D numerical tools with respect to Appendix C and Appendix O conditions, so that they can be used for both design and certification of aircraft, rotorcraft and engines.

Lead: TUDA
Objectives:

  • Improve and validate current 2D and 3D numerical tools with respect to snow conditions, so that they can be used for both design and certification of aircraft, rotorcraft and engines.

Lead: SAF-AE
Objectives:

  • Implement the improved numerical tools in the computational chains of the industrial partners.
  • Validate these tools on realistic industrial test cases.
  • Cross-check the results from the different computational chains and define best practices.
