Flow of a Valley Glacier with a Solid Friction Law
Abstract Friction on the bed is assumed to obey Coulomb’s law of solid friction in the presence of interstitial pressure (Lliboutry, 1968). According to this, the friction is a maximum at certain places in the bottom of the valley. Assuming Glen’s non-linear creep law, the steady-state flow of ice a...
