Direct Numerical Simulations of Ice-Ocean Boundary Turbulence
Ken X. Zhao, Tomas Chor, Eric Skyllingstad +3
Turbulent heat and freshwater transport at ice-ocean interfaces controls glacier and iceberg melt rates, yet the underlying physics remains poorly constrained. Parameterizations th…
The transient behaviour of through-flowing gravity currents interacting with a roughness array
Alex Meredith, Craig McConnochie, Roger Nokes +1
We present laboratory experiments that investigate the structure and flow characteristics of gravity currents travelling through an array of roughness elements. The roughness eleme…
Entrainment into particle-laden turbulent plumes
Craig D. McConnochie, Claudia Cenedese, Jim N. McElwaine
We use laboratory experiments to investigate the entrainment of ambient fluid into an axisymmetric turbulent plume that contains dense particles with a settling velocity that is co…
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…
Surface expression of a wall fountain: application to subglacial discharge plumes
Craig D. McConnochie, Claudia Cenedese, Jim N. McElwaine
We use laboratory experiments and theoretical modeling to investigate the surface expression of a subglacial discharge plume, as occurs at many fjords around Greenland. The experim…
