A research project is underway at NASA Glenn to produce computer software that can accurately predict ice growth for many meteorological conditions for any aircraft surface. This report will present results from the latest LEWICE release, version 3.5. This program differs from previous releases in its ability to model mixed phase and ice crystal conditions such as those encountered inside an engine. It also has expanded capability to use structured grids and a new capability to use results from unstructured grid flow solvers. An extensive comparison of the results in a quantifiable manner against the database of ice shapes that have been generated in the NASA Glenn Icing Research Tunnel (IRT) has also been performed. This paper will show the differences in ice shape between LEWICE 3.5 and experimental data. In addition, comparisons will be made between the lift and drag calculated on the ice shapes from experiment and those produced by LEWICE. This report will also provide a description of both programs. Quantitative geometric comparisons are shown for horn height, horn angle, icing limit, area and leading edge thickness. Quantitative comparisons of calculated lift and drag will also be shown. The results show that the predicted results are within the accuracy limits of the experimental data for the majority of cases.
