Summary

THE RESULTS OF AN EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF THE BUOYANCY DRIVEN FLOW TO A VERTICAL ICE SURFACE MELTING IN SALINE WATER ARE PRESENTED. SEVERAL WATER SALINITIES ARE STUDIED (FROM 0.014 TO 0.035). FOR EACH SALINITY LEVEL, SEVERAL AMBIENT WATER TEMPERATURES ARE INVESTIGATED FROM 271.25 TO 290 K (-1.75 TO 17 DEG C). TIME EXPOSURE PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE FLOW FIELD SHOW THAT SEVERAL DISTINCTIVELY DIFFERENT REGIMES OF FLOW OCCUR, DEPENDING ON BOTH THE AMBIENT WATER SALINITY LEVEL AND TEMPERATURE. VELOCITY PROFILES, MEASURED FROM THE TIME EXPOSURE PHOTOGRAPHS, ARE PRESENTED AND SHOWN TO BE IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THE ANALYTICAL RESULTS OF CAREY AND GEBHART. MEASURED SOLID-LIQUID INTERFACE TEMPERATURES AND INFERRED INTERFACE SALINITIES ARE ALSO PRESENTED FOR THE DIFFERENT SALINITY LEVELS AND AMBIENT WATER TEMPERATURES.
