This paper presents progress being made in developing the SmaggIce software toolkit which is used to create structured grids for 2D iced airfoils in preparation for Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis. A brief introduction is given which establishes the reasons for performing CFD analysis in icing research and the need for software to help with this. A short overview of a previously released version of SmaggIce (v1.2) is included. SmaggIce v1.2 includes tools for geometry preparation, a prerequisite task to performing gridding operations. Details of features added in the current version of SmaggIce (v1.8) are presented. These include tools for domain decomposition, block boundary modification, gridding, and grid quality display. Finally, plans are listed for the final version of SmaggIce (v2.0) which will include additional boundary modification tools and solution display. |
