351 |
|
At a first glance, the solutions look similar. This is encouraging as |
352 |
|
the details of discretization and numerics should not affect the |
353 |
|
solutions to first order. In all cases the ice-ocean stress pushes the |
354 |
|
ice cover eastwards, where it converges in the funnel. In the narrow |
355 |
|
channel the ice moves quickly (nearly free drift) and leaves the |
356 |
|
channel as narrow band. |
357 |
|
|
358 |
|
A close look reveals interesting differences between the B- and C-grid |
359 |
|
results. The zonal velocity in the narrow channel is nearly the free |
360 |
|
drift velocity ( = ocean velocity) of 25\,cm/s for the C-grid |
361 |
|
solutions, regardless of the boundary conditions, while it is just |
362 |
|
above 20\,cm/s for the B-grid solution. The ice accelerates to |
363 |
|
25\,cm/s after it exits the channel. Concentrating on the solutions |
364 |
|
B-LSRns and C-LSRns, the ice volume (effective thickness) along the |
365 |
|
boundaries in the narrow channel is larger in the B-grid case although |
366 |
|
the ice concentration is reduces in the C-grid case. The combined |
367 |
|
effect leads to a larger actual ice thickness at smaller |
368 |
|
concentrations in the C-grid case. However, since the effective |
369 |
|
thickness determines the ice strength $P$ in Eq\refeq{icestrength}, |
370 |
|
the ice strength and thus the bulk and shear viscosities are larger in |
371 |
|
the B-grid case leading to more horizontal friction. This circumstance |
372 |
|
might explain why the no-slip boundary conditions in the B-grid case |
373 |
|
appear to be more effective in reducing the flow within the narrow |
374 |
|
channel, than in the C-grid case. Further, the viscosities are also |
375 |
|
sensitive to details of the velocity gradients. Via $\Delta$, these |
376 |
|
gradients enter the viscosities in the denominator so that large |
377 |
|
gradients tend to reduce the viscosities. This again favors more flow |
378 |
|
along the boundaries in the C-grid case: larger velocities |
379 |
|
(\reffig{funnelf0}) on grid points that are closer to the boundary by |
380 |
|
a factor $\frac{1}{2}$ than in the B-grid case because of the stagger |
381 |
|
nature of the C-grid lead numerically to larger tangential gradients |
382 |
|
across the boundary; these in turn make the viscosities smaller for |
383 |
|
less tangential friction and allow more tangential flow along the |
384 |
|
boundaries. |
385 |
|
|
386 |
|
The above argument can also be invoked to explain the small |
387 |
|
differences between the free-slip and no-slip solutions on the C-grid. |
388 |
|
Because of the non-linearities in the ice viscosities, in particular |
389 |
|
along the boundaries, the no-slip boundary conditions have only a small |
390 |
|
impact on the solution. |
391 |
|
|
392 |
|
The difference between LSR and EVP solutions is largest in the |
393 |
|
effective thickness and meridional velocity fields. The EVP velocity |
394 |
|
fields appears to be a little noisy. This noise has been address by |
395 |
|
\citet{hunke01}. It can be dealt with by reducing EVP's internal time |
396 |
|
step (increasing the number of iterations along with the computational |
397 |
|
cost) or by regularizing the bulk and shear viscosities. We revisit |
398 |
|
the latter option by reproducing some of the results of |
399 |
|
\citet{hunke01}, namely the experiment described in her section~4, for |
400 |
|
our C-grid no-slip cases: in a square domain with a few islands the |
401 |
|
ice model is initialized with constant ice thickness and linearly |
402 |
|
increasing ice concentration to the east. The model dynamics are |
403 |
|
forced with a constant anticyclonic ocean gyre and by variable |
404 |
|
atmospheric wind whose mean direction is diagnonal to the north-east |
405 |
|
corner of the domain; ice volume and concentration are held constant |
406 |
|
(no thermodynamics and no advection by ice velocity). |
407 |
|
\reffig{hunke01} shows the ice velocity field, its divergence, and the |
408 |
|
bulk viscosity $\zeta$ for the cases C-LRSns and C-EVPns, and for a |
409 |
|
C-EVPns case, where \citet{hunke01}'s regularization has been |
410 |
|
implemented; compare to Fig.\,4 in \citet{hunke01}. The regularization |
411 |
|
contraint limits ice strength and viscosities as a function of damping |
412 |
|
time scale, resolution and EVP-time step, effectively allowing the |
413 |
|
elastic waves to damp out more quickly \citep{hunke01}. |

|
423 |
|
In the far right (``east'') side of the domain the ice concentration |
424 |
|
is close to one and the ice should be nearly rigid. The applied wind |
425 |
|
tends to push ice toward the upper right corner. Because the highly |
426 |
|
compact ice is confined by the boundary, it resists any further |
427 |
|
compression and exhibits little motion in the rigid region on the |
428 |
|
right hand side. The C-LSRns solution (top row) allows high |
429 |
|
viscosities in the rigid region suppressing nearly all flow. |
430 |
|
\citet{hunke01}'s regularization for the C-EVPns solution (bottom row) |
431 |
|
clearly suppresses the noise present in $\nabla\cdot\vek{u}$ and |
432 |
|
$\log_{10}\zeta$ in the |
433 |
|
unregularized case (middle row), at the cost of reduced viscosities. |
434 |
|
These reduced viscosities lead to small but finite ice velocities |
435 |
|
which in turn can have a strong effect on solutions in the limit of |
436 |
|
nearly rigid regimes (arching and blocking, not shown). |
