Modelling and Simulation of Ice/Snow Melting
A moving boundary problem, the so-called Stefan Problem, for the melting of ice is set up, then solved numerically using Matlab. Thereby curves for the position of the boundary between ice and water are produced. From these curves the melting time for a given layer thickness of ice/snow can be found. Furthermore, such curves are also presented when salt is added to the ice. It is seen that the ...
متن کاملPitted rock surfaces on Mars: A mechanism of formation by transient melting of snow and ice
[1] Pits in rocks on the surface of Mars have been observed at several locations. Similar pits are observed in rocks in the Mars‐like hyperarid, hypothermal stable upland zone of the Antarctic Dry Valleys; these form by very localized chemical weathering due to transient melting of small amounts of snow on dark dolerite boulders preferentially heated above the melting point of water by sunlight...
متن کاملModeling snow melting on heated pavement surfaces. Part I: Model development
Hydronic or electric heating of pavement surfaces has been used in the prevention of ice formation and snow deposition with the aim of improving transportation safety. This paper describes a numerical model of a heated pavement and the snow melting processes occurring on its surface. A set of boundary conditions have been defined, and models of heat and mass transfer developed, that allow treat...
متن کاملSnow on Antarctic Sea Ice
Snow on Antarctic sea ice plays a complex and highly variable role in air-sea-ice interaction processes and the Earth’s climate system. Using data collected mostly during the past 10 years, this paper reviews the following topics: snow thickness and snow type and their geographical and seasonal variations; snow grain size, density, and salinity; frequency of occurrence of slush; thermal conduct...
متن کاملWidespread Albedo Decreasing and Induced Melting of Himalayan Snow and Ice in the Early 21st Century
BACKGROUND The widely distributed glaciers in the greater Himalayan region have generally experienced rapid shrinkage since the 1850s. As invaluable sources of water and because of their scarcity, these glaciers are extremely important. Beginning in the twenty-first century, new methods have been applied to measure the mass budget of these glaciers. Investigations have shown that the albedo is ...
