Morphology evolution of a melting solid layer above its melt heated from below

R Yang, CJ Howland, HR Liu, R Verzicco… - Journal of Fluid …, 2023 - cambridge.org
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 …

Ice melting in salty water: layering and non-monotonic dependence on the mean salinity

R Yang, CJ Howland, HR Liu, R Verzicco… - Journal of Fluid …, 2023 - cambridge.org
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 …

[HTML][HTML] An efficient phase-field method for turbulent multiphase flows

HR Liu, CS Ng, KL Chong, D Lohse… - Journal of computational …, 2021 - Elsevier
With the aim of efficiently simulating three-dimensional multiphase turbulent flows with a
phase-field method, we propose a new discretization scheme for the biharmonic term (the …

Bistability in radiatively heated melt ponds

R Yang, CJ Howland, HR Liu, R Verzicco, D Lohse - Physical review letters, 2023 - APS
Melting and solidification processes, intertwined with convective flows, play a fundamental
role in geophysical contexts. One of these processes is the formation of melt ponds on …
