Aspect ratio affects iceberg melting
نویسندگان
چکیده
How iceberg shape affects melting is investigated in a combined experimental and numerical study of ice warm salt water. Experiments show that, contrast to previous models, highly nonuniform---side melt rates can be up 3 times larger than bottom rates, vary significantly within each face. Numerical simulations reveal that vortices accelerate at high flow speeds, double diffusive effects matter low speeds. Improved parameterizations incorporate nonuniform are proposed.

Fabrication of high aspect ratio metal nanotips by nanosecond pulse laser melting.
The authors have developed an approach to fabricate sharp and high aspect ratio metal tips using nanosecond pulse laser melting. A quartz wafer covered with a thin chromium (Cr) film was placed on top of a second wafer with a sub-micrometer gap between them and the Cr film facing the second wafer. Then an excimer laser pulse (308 nm wavelength, 20 ns pulse duration) was shone from the back of t...
متن کاملMelting the Iceberg: Contrast Invariance in Visual Cortex
Neurons in visual cortex maintain their selectivity for stimulus orientation despite wide variations in stimulus contrast. Achieving this invariance is a challenge because of the iceberg effect: subthreshold responses are broader in selectivity than firing responses, and increasing contrast would bring them above threshold. An article in this issue of Neuron by Finn et al. explains how neurons ...
متن کاملSubsurface melting of a free-floating Antarctic iceberg
Observations near a large tabular iceberg in theWeddell Sea inMarch and April 2009 show evidence that water from ice melting below the surface is dispersed in two distinct ways. Warm, salty anomalies in T–S diagrams suggest that water from the permanent thermocline is transported vertically as a result of turbulent entrainment of meltwater at the iceberg’s base. Stepped profiles of temperature,...
متن کاملAspect Ratio for Mesh Partitioning
This paper deals with the measure of Aspect Ratio for mesh partitioning and gives hints why, for certain solvers, the Aspect Ratio of partitions plays an important role. We define and rate different kinds of Aspect Ratio, present a new center-based partitioning method which optimizes this measure implicitly and rate several existing partitioning methods and tools under the criterion of Aspect R...
متن کاملTreemaps with Bounded Aspect Ratio
Treemaps are a popular technique to visualize hierarchical data. The input is a weighted tree T where the weight of each node is the sum of the weights of its children. A treemap for T is a hierarchical partition of a rectangle into simply connected regions, usually rectangles. Each region represents a node of T and its area is proportional to the weight of the corresponding node. An important ...
