The phenomenon of in-flight icing may affect all types of aircraft. Presence of ice on wings can lead to a number of aerodynamic degradation problems. The in-house ice accretion prediction code R-ICE using 2-D panel method was developed. The CFD simulation with the software ANSYS CFX 11.0 was used to simulate flow around iced airfoils NACA 0012. These airfoils were experimentally investigated in a wind tunnel. The paper presents a comparison of lift and drag coefficients experimentally observed and numerically simulated.
