Computational tools have been increasing in maturity and are thus commonly used in the engineering design process. Advancements in NASA’s current state of the art computational ice accretion tool are required to tackle the icing challenges of tomorrow. GlennICE, a next generation ice accretion solver, is under development at NASA to tackle these challenges. One of the elements of this migration is transitioning from a quasi-three dimensional strip theory based ice accretion methodology to a fully three dimensional methodology. This requires construction of a method to redefine or extrude a discretized or tessellated surface geometry based on the predicted volumetric ice growth for each tessellated surface triangle. This paper describes the methodology that is employed in the GlennICE software, and assesses the performance of the method in replicating a well definied analytical test case.
