The present thesis aims at developing a basis for the numerical simulation of the growth and densification of macroscopic frost sheets. Notwithstanding the fact that icing has still a long way to fully understand its physics, this work is potentially important, since a broad range of empirical correlations as well as the implementation of formerly neglected physical effects are studied herewith. In particular, this research is focused on developing methodologies for three-dimensional meshes, capable to predict the frost growth and densification of complex geometries. This work comprises five chapters. The first one is an introduction to icing and frost formation. The main motives that urge to numerically simulate frosting are detailed. Mo...
