Aspect ratio affects iceberg melting
Eric W. Hester, Craig D. McConnochie, Claudia Cenedese +2
Iceberg meltwater is a critical freshwater flux from the cryosphere to the oceans. Global climate simulations therefore require simple and accurate parameterisations of iceberg mel…
Improved phase-field models of melting and dissolution in multi-component flows
Eric W. Hester, Louis-Alexandre Couston, Benjamin Favier +2
We develop and analyse the first second-order phase-field model to combine melting and dissolution in multi-component flows. This provides a simple and accurate way to simulate cha…
Topography generation by melting and freezing in a turbulent shear flow
Louis-Alexandre Couston, Eric Hester, Benjamin Favier +3
We report an idealized numerical study of a melting and freezing solid adjacent to a turbulent, buoyancy-affected shear flow, in order to improve our understanding of topography ge…
Bistability in Rayleigh-Bénard convection with a melting boundary
Jhaswantsing Purseed, Benjamin Favier, Laurent Duchemin +1
A pure and incompressible material is confined between two plates such that it is heated from below and cooled from above. When its melting temperature is comprised between these t…
Improving convergence of volume penalised fluid-solid interactions
Eric W. Hester, Geoffrey M. Vasil, Keaton J. Burns
We analyse and improve the volume-penalty method, a simple and versatile way to model objects in fluid flows. The volume-penalty method is a kind of fictitious-domain method that a…
