GlennICE: Verification and Validation v5.1.0GlennICE (Glenn Icing Computational Environment) is a specialized computational tool designed to predict ice growth on complex three-dimensional geometries using input from user-supplied computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solutions. Historically, its validation has relied on individual technical studies addressing aspects such as surface redefinition, collection efficiencies, and roughness models. While these studies provide valuable insights, they do not establish a systematic approach for assessing the tools accuracy across multiple software releases. This report presents a standardized framework for verifying and validating GlennICE by rerunning established test cases, comparing predictions with experimental data, and archiving results. By implementing this structured methodology, the tools performance can be consistently evaluated over time.
