We study the first steps of ice formation in fresh water turbulent convection (frazil ice regime). We explore the sensitivity of the ice formation process to the set of non-dimensional parameters governing the system. We model the mixture of ice crystals and water as a two-phase medium composed of water and ice particles of fixed diameter. We use the Boussinesq approximation and we integrate numerically the set of equations making use of a numerical code based on second order finite difference. A dynamic LES model for the subgrid scales is used.

Abstract

We study the first steps of ice formation in fresh water turbulent convection (frazil ice regime). We explore the sensitivity of the ice formation process to the set of non-dimensional parameters governing the system. We model the mixture of ice crystals and water as a two-phase medium composed of water and ice particles of fixed diameter. We use the Boussinesq approximation and we integrate numerically the set of equations making use of a numerical code based on second order finite difference. A dynamic LES model for the subgrid scales is used.
