Grounding Line Dynamics

In Elmer/Ice, the dynamics of the grounding line is treated as a contact problem between the bedrock and the ice. We didn't use the floating hypothesis to determinate the GL position, neither we impose a Schoof type condition at the GL.

Many solvers and user functions are required to solve this complex problem. Here is a flowchart of the SIF file required to solve for the GL dynamics.

  1. GroundedSolverInit: initialise the GroundedMask variable (+ 1 if grounded, - 1 if floating, 0 if on the grounding line (also grounded but allow to localise the GL))
