Surface Contours and Flow Pattern of a Perfectly Plastic Three-Dimensional Ice Sheet With Arbitrary Bottom and Edge Topography

Abstract The differential equation determining the elevations of a perfectly plastic three-dimensional steady-state ice sheet is set up. Analytical solutions of the equation are obtained in two simple cases, viz. (1) an ice sheet on a horizontal base with an arbitrary curve as edge and (2) an ice sh...
