Ice in the environment plays a central role in both global-scale processes on Earth and
many human activities. Issues related to its description, including the modelling of natural ice …

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 …

Effective de-icing technologies are important to the ships and offshore structures in cold
regions and air bubble de-icing method is expected to have great potential for application …

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 …

We study the conductive and convective states of phase change of pure water in a
rectangular container where two opposite walls are kept respectively at temperatures below …

We study the two-dimensional Rayleigh–Bénard instability subject to the combined effects of
a solid–liquid phase boundary and shear using linear stability theory and energy analysis …

Two-dimensional direct numerical simulations of partitioned thermal convection are
performed using the thermal lattice Boltzmann method for the Rayleigh number (Ra) of 109 …

We study the melting process of a solid under microgravity, driven solely by lateral vibrations
that are perpendicular to the applied temperature gradient due to the absence of gravity …

A better understanding of the ice-ocean couplings is required to better characterise the
hydrosphere of the icy moons. Using global numerical simulations in spherical geometry, we …
