remote and harsh environmental conditions. This information will be used to determine operational limits_x000D_
beyond which performance is no longer acceptable. Furthermore, this project will explore the possibility of_x000D_
using aerodynamic shaping to minimize ice accretion to enhance operational limits and reduce the frequency of_x000D_
on site service. Numerical simulations will be used to determine the flowfield about the antennas while a_x000D_
custom ice accretion model based on the Stefan problem will be used to determine ice accretion., program purpose french : The goal of this project is to develop the capability to predict the growth of ice on GNSS antennas placed in_x000D_
