Thesis title
Numerical simulation of ice shelf and ocean interactions
Research overview
The project focuses on numerical simulations to gain a better understanding of the interactions between ice shelves and oceans. The simulations are performed using fine-scale engineering-based tools in computational fluid dynamics, including Direct Numerical Simulation and Large Eddy Simulation. The goal is improving existing parameterisations of ice shelf melting in regional ocean models, large-scale ocean models and climate models. The fluid dynamics simulations are used to test and improve parameterisations of ice shelf and ocean interactions. The main tasks are diving deeply into developing and implementing ice shelf and ocean interaction algorithms and testing parameterisations in ocean models.
