Mixing, water transformation, and melting close to a tidewater glacier

ME Inall, A Sundfjord, F Cottier, ML Korte… - Geophysical …, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
Marine‐terminating glacier fjords play a central role in the transport of oceanic heat toward
ice sheets, regulating their melt. Mixing processes near glacial termini are key to this …

Parameterizing subglacial discharge in modeling buoyancy driven flow in tidewater glacier Fjords

C Wang, RJ Chant, RH Jackson - Journal of Geophysical …, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
In tidewater glacier fjords, subglacial discharge drives a significant mixing mechanism near
glacier fronts and drives a strong exchange flow. Numerous studies (Cowton et al., 2015 …

Co-seismic eruption and intermittent turbulence of a subglacial discharge plume revealed by continuous subsurface observations in Greenland

EA Podolskiy, N Kanna, S Sugiyama - Communications Earth & …, 2021 - nature.com
In the Arctic, subglacial discharge plumes have been recently recognised as a key driver of
fjord-scale circulation. However, owing to the danger that accompanies prolonged …

Entrainment into particle-laden turbulent plumes

CD McConnochie, C Cenedese, JN McElwaine - Physical Review Fluids, 2021 - APS
We use laboratory experiments to investigate the entrainment of ambient fluid into an
axisymmetric turbulent plume containing dense particles with a settling velocity that is …

Spreading and sedimentation from bottom-propagating particle-bearing jets

M Kapil, BR Sutherland… - Journal of Fluid …, 2021 - cambridge.org
Laboratory experiments are conducted to examine the evolution of and sedimentation from a
particle-bearing jet advancing along a horizontal or downward-sloping boundary underlying …

Modeling Buoyancy-Driven Circulation in an Idealized Tidewater Glacier Fjord

C Wang - 2021 - search.proquest.com
Tidewater glacier fjords are narrow, deep inlets connecting marine-terminating glaciers with
the continental shelf sea. Over the recent years, the rapid mass loss of the Greenland Ice …
