Ridge Evolution, Plan View

The evolution of a simulated three dimensional sea ice pressure ridge is shown from above. The left plate is 100 m x 50 m x 0.4 m and the right plate is 5 m x 50 m x 1 m. The left plate is moving at 2 cm/s to the right. The simulation shows 600 s of convergence with the left edge of the plate moving...

Description
Summary:The evolution of a simulated three dimensional sea ice pressure ridge is shown from above. The left plate is 100 m x 50 m x 0.4 m and the right plate is 5 m x 50 m x 1 m. The left plate is moving at 2 cm/s to the right. The simulation shows 600 s of convergence with the left edge of the plate moving a total of 12 m. The pressure, in Pa, felt by each grain is calculated for coloration to show regions of compression, tension, and the transmission of stress through the material.
