  • Dynamics of laterally confined marine ice sheets 

    Kowal, Katarzyna N; Pegler, Samuel S; Worster, Michael Grae (Cambridge University PressJournal of Fluid Mechanics, 2016-02-03)
    We present an experimental and theoretical study of the dynamics of laterally confined marine ice sheets in the natural limit in which the long, narrow channel into which they flow is wider than the depth of the ice. A ...

  • Lubricated viscous gravity currents 

    Kowal, Katarzyna N; Worster, Michael Grae (CUPJournal of Fluid Mechanics, 2015-02-10)
    We present a theoretical and experimental study of viscous gravity currents lubricated by another viscous fluid from below. We use lubrication theory to model both layers as Newtonian fluids spreading under their own weight ...
