The in-flight icing remains as a critical issue in the safety of aircraft. In this case, determining the impingement area of droplets is essential to designing proper ice protection systems. A computational method for describing water droplet impingement around a multi-element high-lift airfoil consisting of a slat, main and flap elements is presented.
