Modeling sea ice in the marginal ice zone as a dense granular flow with rheology inferred from a discrete element model

Modeling sea ice in the marginal ice zone as a dense granular flow with rheology inferred from a discrete element model

The marginal ice zone (MIZ) represents the periphery of the sea ice cover. Here, the macroscale behavior of the sea ice results from collisions and enduring contact between ice floes. This configuration closely resembles that of dense granular flows, which have been modeled successfully with the $\mu(I)$ rheology. Here, we …
