Melting and Moving Ice

ORAL

Abstract

Melting ice is a symptom of our planet's health, and much of it occurs as floating, mobile pieces of all shapes and sizes. Here we study how melting relates to and interacts with the free motions of bodies of ice through controlled lab experiments and numerical simulations. We find that melting can induce motions and, reciprocally, moving alters the melting dynamics. These couplings involve intricate flows and unique body geometries.
