The phrase 'ice accretion' is correct and usable in written English.
You can use it to describe the process by which an increase in the amount of ice occurs or to refer to the resulting ice buildup. For example, you could say, "The ice accretion on the tree branches posed a hazard to passing pedestrians."
Special attention is paid to the following areas: ways to obtain the aerodynamic data of iced aircraft, flight dynamic modeling and simulation for iced aircraft, effects of ice accretion on aircraft stability and control as well as on flight performance and aircraft icing envelope protection and control adaption.
The aim of this paper is twofold; first, it was investigated the ice accretion process and the final shape of the ice accreted; then the aerodynamics of the ice accreted bridge cables was characterized, and related to the ice shape.
The numerical predictions suggest a 10%65%% reduction in lift coefficient due to ice accretion, which is highly dependent on the accreted ice shape.
Electro-thermal anti/de-icing systems have been consequently developed to eliminate ice accretion on wind turbine blades.
Over the last decades, the design of new materials with anti-icing properties has generated significant research efforts for the prevention of ice accretion.
Air flow, droplet impingement and ice accretion simulations are conducted in FENSAP ICE.
A description of the geometric characteristics of the ice accretions is given in the paper.
This article identifies four classes of ice accretions: roughness, horn ice, streamwise ice, and spanwise-ridge ice.
Only for the bridge hanger case, a short description of the evolution of the ice accretions is given.
This article is a systematic and comprehensive review, correlation, and assessment of test results available in the public domain which address the aerodynamic performance and control degradations caused by various types of ice accretions on the lifting surfaces of fixed wing aircraft.
Following these are the actual reviews, assessments, and correlations of a large number of experimental measurements of various forms of mostly simulated in-flight and ground ice accretions, augmented where appropriate by similar measurements for other analogous forms of surface contamination and/or disruptions.
