Modifications have been implemented in the GlennICE software to accommodate a non-inertial reference frame. GlennICE accepts a flow solution from an external flow solver. It then introduces particles and tracks them through the flow field in a Lagrangian manner. Centrifugal and Coriolis terms were added to the GlennICE software to account for relative frame simulations. The objective of the present paper is twofold. First, to check that the new terms are implemented correctly and that the code still behaves as expected with respect to convergence. And second, to provide some initial insight into an upcoming propeller experiment in the NASA Icing Research Tunnel. The paper presents a description of the code modifications. In addition, results are presented for two operating conditions, and three particle sizes. Each case was simulated with four different grid densities to assess grid dependence.
