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…

Melting of floating ice cylinders in fresh and saline environments
Edoardo Bellincioni, Detlef Lohse, Sander G. Huisman
We experimentally investigated the melting of floating ice cylinders. Experiments were carried out in a tank, with ice cylinders with radii between 5 cm and 12 cm, floating horizon…
