The influence of closed brine pockets and permeable brine channels on the thermo-elastic properties of saline ice
Description:
A model of the thermo-elastic behaviour of saline ice is formulated, and model solutions describing thermo-elastic waves propagating into a half-space of the ice are investigated. The model is based on a proposal that saline ice is a matrix, which encompasses both closed brine pockets and permeable channels filled with brine. [Source: Philosophical transactions.
