Keywords: icing, ice acrettion, rime, simulation

In this paper, we verify the results of a threedimensional morphogenetic model simulating rime and glaze ice accretion structures forming on a circular cylinder. Using a novel approach, we predict the shape and structural details of aircraft ice accretions by emulating the behaviour of individual fluid elements.
