Abstract
AbstractThe sliding of temperate ice over two obstacles with sine-wave profiles (wavelength, 0.53 m; maximum slope, 0.22) and low thermal conductivity has been reproduced at full scale within a steel chamber. As expected, large cavities form between the ice and the obstacles so that the drag is limited. However, the delayed elasticity of bubbly ice modifies the expected behaviour. At the base of the ice a fine-grained, bubble-free blue ice layer develops. The shear strain concentrates on the up-stream side of bumps and in the blue ice layer. Tap-water ions enhance tertiary creep-rates.
