The surface of ice exhibits the swath of phase-transition phenomena common to all
materials and as such it acts as an ideal test bed of both theory and experiment. It is readily …

Viscous flow is familiar and useful, yet the underlying physics is surprisingly subtle and
complex. Recent experiments and simulations show that the textbook assumption of'no slip …

The no-slip boundary condition at a solid-liquid interface is at the center of our
understanding of fluid mechanics. However, this condition is an assumption that cannot be …

Based on observations of the 1982–1983 surge of Variegated Glacier, Alaska, a model of
the surge mechanism is developed in terms of a transition from the normal tunnel …

During the snow-melt season of 1982, basal water pressure was recorded in 11 bore holes
communicating with the subglacial drainage system. In most of these holes the water levels …

Slip of marine-terminating ice streams over beds of deformable till is responsible for most of
the contribution of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet to sea level rise. Flow models of the ice sheet …

In order to interpret observed short-term variations of the sliding velocity of a glacier the
effect of a variable subglacial water pressure on the sliding velocity has been studied using …

An experimental programme has been carried out for studying temperate-ice sliding over
rock surfaces with a wide range of roughnesses, for normal and shear stresses comparable …

Basal sliding is one of the most important components in the dynamics of fast–flowing
glaciers, but remains poorly understood on a theoretical level. In this paper, the problem of …

This review is focused on molecular momentum transport at fluid-solid interfaces mainly
related to microfluidics and nanofluidics in micro-/nano-electro-mechanical systems …
