Ocean conditions near the grounding zones of Antarctica's ice shelves play a key role in
controlling the outflow and mass balance of the ice sheet. However, ocean observations in …

The ice-ocean interface is a dynamic zone characterized by the transfer of heat, salinity, and
energy. Complex thermodynamics and fluid dynamics drive fascinating physics as ice is …

We numerically study the melting process of a solid layer heated from below such that a
liquid melt layer develops underneath. The objective is to quantitatively describe and …

The presence of salt in seawater strongly affects the melt rate and the shape evolution of ice,
both of utmost relevance in ice–ocean interactions and thus for the climate. To get a better …

We show that unconstrained asymmetric dissolving solids floating in a fluid can move
rectilinearly as a result of attached density currents which occur along their inclined …

The recognizable shapes of landforms arise from processes such as erosion by wind or
water currents. However, explaining the physical origin of natural structures is challenging …

Iceberg melting is a critical factor for climate change. However, the shape of an iceberg is an
often neglected aspect of its melting process. Our study investigates the influence of different …

Motivated by the ablation of vertical ice faces in salt water, we use three-dimensional direct
numerical simulations to investigate the heat and salt fluxes in two-scalar vertical …

Melting icebergs provide nearly half of the total freshwater flux from ice shelves to the ocean,
but the availability of accurate, data-constrained melting rate parametrisations limits the …

Using a Cauchy integral formulation of the boundary integral equations, we simulate the
erosion of a porous medium comprised of up to 100 solid bodies embedded in a two …
