Understanding the melting dynamics in turbulent flows
Dissolving, eroding, and melting processes are ubiquitous in everyday life, nature, science, and technology. The challenge is to accurately predict the melting or dissolution rate e.g. of an iceberg or glacier---relevant for climate change---or of solid reactants in chemical reactors, important to accurately control reaction rates and temperatures. Current predictions for the melting of glaciers are often off by a factor of 100, and different melting models show inconsistencies. No general consensus of the cryospheric modeling has been reached yet. The difficulties in describing melting and dissolution stem from the multiscale nature of these processes (micrometers to kilometers) and the…
