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…
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…
Butter on a hot pan: self-regulating dynamics of melt-lubricated sliding
Edoardo Bellincioni, Simon Biermann, Jacco H. Snoeijer +2
When solids melt while sliding down heated inclines, their motion is governed by a complex coupling between heat transfer, phase change, gravity and viscous dissipation. Despite re…
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 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…
