157    The bulk viscosities are bounded above by imposing both a minimum
158    $\Delta_{\min}=10^{-11}\text{\,s}^{-1}$ (for numerical reasons) and a

337    five different cases at steady state (after 10\,years of integration):

345    \ml{[We have not implemented the EVP solver on a B-grid.]}
346    \begin{figure*}[htbp]
347      \includegraphics[width=\widefigwidth]{\fpath/all_086280}
348      \caption{Ice concentration, effective thickness [m], and ice
349        velocities [m/s]
350        for 5 different numerical solutions.}
351      \label{fig:funnelf0}
352    \end{figure*}
353    At a first glance, the solutions look similar. This is encouraging as
354    the details of discretization and numerics should not affect the
355    solutions to first order. In all cases the ice-ocean stress pushes the
356    ice cover eastwards, where it converges in the funnel. In the narrow
357    channel the ice moves quickly (nearly free drift) and leaves the
358    channel as narrow band.
359    
360    A close look reveals interesting differences between the B- and C-grid
361    results. The zonal velocity in the narrow channel is nearly the free
362    drift velocity ( = ocean velocity) of 25\,cm/s for the C-grid
363    solutions, regardless of the boundary conditions, while it is just
364    above 20\,cm/s for the B-grid solution. The ice accelerates to
365    25\,cm/s after it exits the channel. Concentrating on the solutions
366    B-LSRns and C-LSRns, the ice volume (effective thickness) along the
367    boundaries in the narrow channel is larger in the B-grid case although
368    the ice concentration is reduces in the C-grid case. The combined
369    effect leads to a larger actual ice thickness at smaller
370    concentrations in the C-grid case. However, since the effective
371    thickness determines the ice strength $P$ in Eq\refeq{icestrength},
372    the ice strength and thus the bulk and shear viscosities are larger in
373    the B-grid case leading to more horizontal friction. This circumstance
374    might explain why the no-slip boundary conditions in the B-grid case
375    appear to be more effective in reducing the flow within the narrow
376    channel, than in the C-grid case. Further, the viscosities are also
377    sensitive to details of the velocity gradients. Via $\Delta$, these
378    gradients enter the viscosities in the denominator so that large
379    gradients tend to reduce the viscosities. This again favors more flow
380    along the boundaries in the C-grid case: larger velocities
381    (\reffig{funnelf0}) on grid points that are closer to the boundary by
382    a factor $\frac{1}{2}$ than in the B-grid case because of the stagger
383    nature of the C-grid lead numerically to larger tangential gradients
384    across the boundary; these in turn make the viscosities smaller for
385    less tangential friction and allow more tangential flow along the
386    boundaries.
387    
388    The above argument can also be invoked to explain the small
389    differences between the free-slip and no-slip solutions on the C-grid.
390    Because of the non-linearities in the ice viscosities, in particular
391    along the boundaries, the no-slip boundary conditions have only a small
392    impact on the solution.
393    
394    The difference between LSR and EVP solutions is largest in the
395    effective thickness and meridional velocity fields. The EVP velocity
396    fields appears to be a little noisy. This noise has been address by
397    \citet{hunke01}. It can be dealt with by reducing EVP's internal time
398    step (increasing the number of iterations along with the computational
399    cost) or by regularizing the bulk and shear viscosities. We revisit
400    the latter option by reproducing some of the results of
401    \citet{hunke01}, namely the experiment described in her section~4, for
402    our C-grid no-slip cases: in a square domain with a few islands the
403    ice model is initialized with constant ice thickness and linearly
404    increasing ice concentration to the east. The model dynamics are
405    forced with a constant anticyclonic ocean gyre and by variable
406    atmospheric wind whose mean direction is diagnonal to the north-east
407    corner of the domain; ice volume and concentration are held constant
408    (no thermodynamics and no advection by ice velocity).
409    \reffig{hunke01} shows the ice velocity field, its divergence, and the
410    bulk viscosity $\zeta$ for the cases C-LRSns and C-EVPns, and for a
411    C-EVPns case, where \citet{hunke01}'s regularization has been
412    implemented; compare to Fig.\,4 in \citet{hunke01}. The regularization
413    contraint limits ice strength and viscosities as a function of damping
414    time scale, resolution and EVP-time step, effectively allowing the
415    elastic waves to damp out more quickly \citep{hunke01}.
416    \begin{figure*}[htbp]
417      \includegraphics[width=\widefigwidth]{\fpath/hun12days}
418      \caption{Ice flow, divergence and bulk viscosities of three
419        experiments with \citet{hunke01}'s test case: C-LSRns (top),
420        C-EVPns (middle), and C-EVPns with damping described in
421        \citet{hunke01} (bottom).}
422      \label{fig:hunke01}
423    \end{figure*}
424    
425    In the far right (``east'') side of the domain the ice concentration
426    is close to one and the ice should be nearly rigid. The applied wind
427    tends to push ice toward the upper right corner. Because the highly
428    compact ice is confined by the boundary, it resists any further
429    compression and exhibits little motion in the rigid region on the
430    right hand side. The C-LSRns solution (top row) allows high
431    viscosities in the rigid region suppressing nearly all flow.
432    \citet{hunke01}'s regularization for the C-EVPns solution (bottom row)
433    clearly suppresses the noise present in $\nabla\cdot\vek{u}$ and
434    $\log_{10}\zeta$ in the
435    unregularized case (middle row), at the cost of reduced viscosities.
436    These reduced viscosities lead to small but finite ice velocities
437    which in turn can have a strong effect on solutions in the limit of
438    nearly rigid regimes (arching and blocking, not shown).
439    
440    \ml{[Say something about performance? This is tricky, as the
441      perfomance depends strongly on the configuration. A run with slowly
442      changing forcing is favorable for LSR, because then only very few
443      iterations are required for convergences while EVP uses its fixed
444      number of internal timesteps. If the forcing in changing fast, LSR
445      needs far more iterations while EVP still uses the fixed number of
446      internal timesteps. I have produces runs where for slow forcing LSR
447      is much faster than EVP and for fast forcing, LSR is much slower
448      than EVP. EVP is certainly more efficient in terms of vectorization
449      and MFLOPS on our SX8, but is that a criterion?]}
