Operation of wind turbines in cold climate areas is challenged by icing-induced problems, such as loss of production, safety issues and blade fatigue. Production losses are especially a big issue in Sweden, and due to difficulties with on-site measurements, simulations are often used to get an understanding and to predict icing events. In this paper a case study of modeling icing using Computational Fluid Dynamics(CFD) is proposed. The case study aims to form the basic of a general CFD model for icing on wind turbine blade sections.
