About this technology

Overview

GlennICE is a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) post processor that simulates an encounter with icing related inclement weather. It utilizes a CFD solution provided by the user from third party CFD software and simulates the impingement of supercooled water and the resulting ice accretion on an aerodynamic vehicle. It supports simulation in both stationary and rotating frames of reference.
