Abstract: Abstract Borehole closure owing to the refreezing of meltwater poses a serious limitation in ice thermal drilling, and estimates of the refreezing rate are essential for determining safe drilling rates. In this paper, we describe… read more here.

Abstract: In this study, we elucidate the mechanisms governing the heat-transfer mediated, non-thermodynamic limited, freezing delay on non-wetting surfaces for a variety of characteristic length scales, Lc (volume/surface area, 3 mm read more here.
