Meshing tools

Due to the small aspect ratio of ice-sheets, but also glaciers, creating a mesh for a glacier geometry or an ice-sheet geometry cannot generally be done classical meshers. Our experience in modelling different glaciers, ice-caps and ice-sheets, is that a vertically structured mesh is very often the best solution. Such a mesh can be constructed by first meshing the footprint of the glacier contour and then extruding this footprint vertically.

This Section presents some tools that have been developed and are used to construct a mesh for a glacier type geometry.

The characteristics of these different tools are listed in the following tabular:
