Melting of ice under pressure.
The melting of ice under pressure is investigated with a series of first-principles molecular dynamics simulations. In particular, a two-phase approach is used to determine the melting temperature of the ice-VII phase in the range of 10-50 GPa. Our computed melting temperatures are consistent with existing diamond anvil cell experiments. We find that for pressures between 10 and 40 GPa, ice mel...
متن کاملHow ice shelf morphology controls basal melting
[1] The response of ice shelf basal melting to climate is a function of ocean temperature, circulation, and mixing in the open ocean and the coupling of this external forcing to the sub–ice shelf circulation. Because slope strongly influences the properties of buoyancy-driven flow near the ice shelf base, ice shelf morphology plays a critical role in linking external, subsurface heat sources to...
متن کاملPressure-Induced Melting of Confined Ice
The classic regelation experiment of Thomson in the 1850s deals with cutting an ice cube, followed by refreezing. The cutting was attributed to pressure-induced melting but has been challenged continuously, and only lately consensus emerged by understanding that compression shortens the O:H nonbond and lengthens the H-O bond simultaneously. This H-O elongation leads to energy loss and lowers th...
متن کاملCreep Deformation of Ice
Knowledge of the creep properties of ice often is needed in field and theoretical studies of the flow and deformation of glaciers, ice shelves, and ice sheets. Recently many of the icy moons in the solar system have become much better known as a result of the successful deep-space probe missions. An understanding of the physical processes that take place within them requires information about t...
متن کاملRough Ice Is Bad Ice
in the early days of aviation, at the advent of thermal ice protection system development, aircraft designers believed that in fighting in-flight icing, the critical variables were the mass of supercooled water that an airplane would transit and the temperature. The measure of mass is liquid water content (LWC). Droplet size of supercooled water, which influences potential icing severity, is me...
