Mathematical Modelling of Subglacial Drainage and Erosion PDF by Alejandro Barrientos Muñoz is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This thesis examines mathematical modeling of subglacial drainage and erosion. It presents a detailed model of water flow in an ice-walled channel underlain by subglacial till. The model considers the physics of bed processes and their effect on channel morphology, proposing that the channel depth and width evolve independently according to a local balance between melting and closure. Sediment erosion and deposition are also accounted for. The thesis demonstrates how rapid channel widening caused by bank er
