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…
