Contact melting during sliding on ice.

Summary

The paper describes the water film that is formed as ice melts under a two-dimensional solid slider. The analysis is based on the contact melting theory, and accounts for the coupling between the heat transfer across the water film and the fluid mechanics of the film. The competition between pressure melting and frictional melting in the creation of the film, and the effect of slider thermal boundary conditions (isothermal vs adiabatic) are documented. The dimensionless groups that govern the film behaviour are identified. Some results are analysed. The role of asperities of the ice is also discussed.
