Abstract
AbstractThis paper presents a model of snow structure (model of regular grain packing) that is based on experimental determination of various geometrical characteristics of fine-, medium- and large-grained granular snow. Data analysis supports the possibility of approximating the ice-matrix configuration as a regular lattice of nearly spherical ice grains connected by rigid ice bonds. The model was successfully used for relating microstructural parameters of snow to snow density, compaction behavior and evolution of mechanical properties.
