Implementing Higher Order Dynamics into the Ice Sheet Model SICOPOLIS
Implementing Higher Order Dynamics into the Ice Sheet Model SICOPOLIS Josefin Ahlkrona Ice sheet modeling is an important tool both for reconstructing past ice sheets and predicting their future evolution, but is complex and computationally costly. It involves modeling a system including the ice sheet, ice shelves and ice streams, which all have different dynamical behavior. The governing equat...
متن کاملA new three-dimensional higher-order thermomechanical ice sheet model: Basic sensitivity, ice stream development, and ice flow across subglacial lakes
[1] A new three-dimensional thermomechanically coupled ice sheet model is developed. Contrary to the majority of three-dimensional ice sheet models (shallow ice approximation), higher-order stress gradients (longitudinal and transverse) are accounted for in the force balance equations. The horizontal velocity field is determined from the force balance equations in their ‘‘derivative form’’ (ell...

متن کاملData Assimilation and Prognostic Whole Ice Sheet Modelling with the Variationally Derived, Higher Order, Open Source, and Fully Parallel Ice Sheet Model VarGlaS
We introduce a novel, higher order, finite element ice sheet model called VarGlaS (Variational Glacier Simulator), which is built on the finite element framework FEniCS. Contrary to standard procedure in ice sheet modelling, VarGlaS formulates ice sheet motion as the minimization of an energy functional, conferring advantages such as a consistent platform for making numerical approximations, a ...
متن کاملA higher order diffusion model for three-dimensional photon migration and image reconstruction in optical tomography.
In this work, we derived three-dimensional simplified spherical harmonics approximated higher order diffusion equations. We also solved the higher order diffusion equations using a finite element method and compared the solutions from the first-order diffusion equation and Monte Carlo simulations. We found that the conducted model is able to improve the first-order diffusion solution in a trans...
