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…
Shape effect on ice melting in flowing water
Rui Yang, Christopher J. Howland, Hao-Ran Liu +2
Iceberg melting is a critical factor for climate change, contributing to rising sea levels and climate change. However, the shape of an iceberg is an often neglected aspect of its…
Ice melting in salty water: layering and non-monotonic dependence on the mean salinity
Rui Yang, Christopher J. Howland, Hao-Ran Liu +2
The presence of salt in ocean water strongly affects the melt rate and the shape evolution of ice, both of utmost relevance in geophysical and ocean flow and thus for the climate.…
