Ice melting in an oscillatory flow

Sofía Angriman, Tobias de Buck, Roberto Verzicco +1

We investigate the melting dynamics of an ice disk subjected to an external oscillatory flow using two-dimensional direct numerical simulations, in the absence of buoyancy, varying…

Transition from classical to ultimate melting

Edoardo Bellincioni, Kevin Zhong, Christopher J. Howland +4

Melting is omnipresent in nature and technology, with applications ranging from metallurgy, biology, food science, and latent thermal energy storage to oceanography, geophysics, an…

Settling dynamics of an oloid: experiments and simulations

Mees M. Flapper, Giulia Piumini, Roberto Verzicco +2

This study presents a combined experimental and computational investigation of an oloid shaped particle settling in a quiescent fluid. The oloid, a unique convex shape with anisotr…

Transition to the ultimate regime of turbulent convection in stratified inclined duct flow

Rundong Zhou, Adrien Lefauve, Roberto Verzicco +1

The stratified inclined duct (SID) flow provides a canonical model for sustained, buoyancy-driven exchange between two reservoirs of different density, and emerges as a new paradig…

Bistability in radiatively heated melt ponds

Rui Yang, Christopher J. Howland, Hao-Ran Liu +2

Melting and solidification processes, intertwined with convective flows, play a fundamental role in geophysical contexts. One of these processes is the formation of melt ponds on g…

Collective effects of neighbouring melting ice objects

Sofía Angriman, Detlef Lohse, Roberto Verzicco +1

We present a study on the melting dynamics of neighbouring ice bodies by means of idealised simulations, focusing on collective effects, with the goal of obtaining fundamental insi…
