The effects of salinity and inclination on the morphology of melting ice
Tomás J. Ferreyra Hauchar, Detlef Lohse, Sander G. Huisman
The salinity of water and the slope of ice significantly influence the melt rate and surface morphology of ice, both highly relevant in the context of glacier and iceberg melting i…
Settling of chiral particles in a turbulent flow
Mees M. Flapper, John E. Sader, Detlef Lohse +1
Chiral particles are experimentally investigated while settling inwater with various turbulence intensity levels. The locations and orientations of the particles are tracked over t…
Collective effects of neighbouring melting ice objects
SofÃa 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…
Chiral Particles in Taylor-Couette Turbulence
Mees M. Flapper, Detlef Lohse, Sander G. Huisman
This work investigates chiral particles, which break mirror symmetry, in turbulent Taylor--Couette flow. These particles generally display a translation-rotation coupling moving th…
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…
Buoyancy-driven flow regimes for a melting vertical ice cylinder in saline water
Dehao Xu, Simen T. Bootsma, Roberto Verzicco +2
The presence of salt in seawater significantly affects the melt rate and morphological evolution of ice. This study investigates the melting process of a vertical cylinder in salin…
