Grain boundary melting in ice
E. S. Thomson, Hendrik Hansen-Goos, L. A. Wilen +1
We describe an optical scattering study of grain boundary premelting in water ice. Ubiquitous long ranged attractive polarization forces act to suppress grain boundary melting wher…
Universal deformation of soft substrates near a contact line and the direct measurement of solid surface stresses
Robert W. Style, Yonglu Che, John. S. Wettlaufer +2
Droplets deform soft substrates near their contact lines. Using confocal microscopy, we measure the deformation of silicone gel substrates due to glycerol and fluorinated-oil dropl…
Modeling the Influence of Antifreeze Proteins on Three-Dimensional Ice Crystal Melt Shapes using a Geometric Approach
Jun Jie Liu, Yangzong Qin, Maya Bar Dolev +3
The melting of pure axisymmetric ice crystals has been described previously by us within the framework of so-called geometric crystal growth. Nonequilibrium ice crystal shapes evol…
Nonlinear mushy-layer convection with chimneys: stability and optimal solute fluxes
Andrew J. Wells, John S. Wettlaufer, Steven A. Orszag
We model buoyancy-driven convection with chimneys -- channels of zero solid fraction -- in a mushy layer formed during directional solidification of a binary alloy in two-dimension…
On the existence of stable seasonally varying Arctic sea ice in simple models
W. Moon, J. S. Wettlaufer
Within the framework of lower order thermodynamic theories for the climatic evolution of Arctic sea ice we isolate the conditions required for the existence of stable seasonally-va…
Evaporatively driven morphological instability
Robert W. Style, John. S. Wettlaufer
Simple observations of evaporating solutions reveal a complex hierarchy of spatio-temporal instabilities. We analyze one such instability suggested by the qualitative observations…
