Bistability in radiatively heated melt ponds
Rui Yang, Christopher J. Howland, Hao-Ran Liu +2
Melting and solidification processes, intertwined with convective flows, play a fundamental role in geophysical contexts. One of these processes is the formation of melt ponds on g…

Circular objects do not melt the slowest in water
Rui Yang, Thijs van den Ham, Roberto Verzicco +2
We report on the melting dynamics of ice suspended in fresh water and subject to natural convective flows. Using direct numerical simulations we investigate the melt rate of ellips…
