A mushy source for the geysers of Enceladus
Colin R. Meyer, Jacob J. Buffo, Francis Nimmo +5
Enceladus is a primary target for astrobiology due to the plume ejecta measured by the Cassini spacecraft and the inferred subsurface ocean sustained by tidal heating. S…
A stochastic model for the turbulent ocean heat flux under Arctic sea ice
Srikanth Toppaladoddi, Andrew J. Wells
The physics of planetary climate features a variety of complex systems that are challenging to model as they feature turbulent flows. A key example is the heat flux from the upper…
Convection in a mushy-layer along a heated wall
Samuel Boury, Colin R. Meyer, Geoffrey M. Vasil +1
Motivated by the mushy zones of sea ice, volcanoes, and icy moons of the outer solar system, we perform a theoretical and numerical study of boundary-layer convection along a verti…
Thermal Convection over Fractal Surfaces
Srikanth Toppaladoddi, Andrew J. Wells, Charles R. Doering +1
We use well resolved numerical simulations with the Lattice Boltzmann Method to study Rayleigh-Bénard convection in cells with a fractal boundary in two dimensions for and…
The solidification of a disk-shaped crystal from a weakly supercooled binary melt
David W. Rees Jones, Andrew J. Wells
The physics of ice crystal growth from the liquid phase, especially in the presence of salt, has received much less attention than the growth of snow crystals from the vapour phase…
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…
