A mushy source for the geysers of Enceladus

Colin R. Meyer, Jacob J. Buffo, Francis Nimmo +5

Enceladus is a primary target for astrobiology due to the plume ejecta measured by the Cassini spacecraft and the inferred subsurface ocean sustained by tidal heating. S…

A thermomechanical model for frost heave and subglacial frozen fringe

Colin R. Meyer, Christian Schoof, Alan W. Rempel

Ice-infiltrated sediment, known as a frozen fringe, leads to phenomena such as frost heave, ice lenses, and meters of debris-rich ice under glaciers. Understanding the dynamics of…

Convection in a mushy-layer along a heated wall

Samuel Boury, Colin R. Meyer, Geoffrey M. Vasil +1

Motivated by the mushy zones of sea ice, volcanoes, and icy moons of the outer solar system, we perform a theoretical and numerical study of boundary-layer convection along a verti…

The case for a multi-channel polarization sensitive LIDAR for investigation of insolation-driven ices and atmospheres

Adrian J. Brown, Gorden Videen, Evgenij Zubko +20

All LIDAR instruments are not the same, and advancement of LIDAR technology requires an ongoing interest and demand from the community to foster further development of the required…

Blade-shaped (PKN) Hydraulic Fracture Driven By A Turbulent Fluid In An Impermeable Rock

Navid Zolfaghari, Colin R. Meyer, Andrew P. Bunger

High flow rate, water-driven hydraulic fractures are more common now than ever in the oil and gas industry. Although the fractures are small, the high injection rate and low viscos…

Rotational diffusion of particles in turbulence

Colin R. Meyer, Evan A. Variano

Through laboratory measurements, we compare the rotation of spherical and ellipsoidal particles in homogeneous, isotropic turbulence. We find that the particles' angular velocity s…
