- [[solvers:grounded|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)) | * 1/ Initialise the ''GroundedMask'' variable using [[solvers:grounded|GroundedSolverInit]]: (+ 1 if grounded, - 1 if floating, 0 if on the grounding line (also grounded but allow to localise the GL)) |
- Compute the [[solvers:normal|Normal vector]] only where the ice is grounded. This is done by setting ''Compute Normal'' to ''False'' for all boundaries, excepted at the bedrock where: | |
<code> | * 2/ Compute the [[solvers:normal|Normal vector]] only where the ice is grounded. This is done by setting ''Compute Normal'' to ''False'' for all boundaries, excepted at the bedrock where: |
| <code> |
ComputeNormal Condition = Variable GroundedMask | ComputeNormal Condition = Variable GroundedMask |
Real MATC "tx + 0.5" | Real MATC "tx + 0.5" |
</code> | </code> |
| |
| * 3/ Compute the nodal force induced by the water pressure at the base of the ice-shelf using [[solvers:gethydrostaticloads|GetHydrostaticLoads]] (executed only on the bedrock bc). |
| |
| * 4/ Execute the //Stokes// solver. The contact is tested and updated during the non-linear iteration loop from the [[userfunctions:contact|USF_Contact]] user function in the bedrock bc: |
| <code> |
| Slip Coefficient 2 = Variable Coordinate 1 |
| Real Procedure "ElmerIceUSF" "SlidCoef_Contact" |
| </code> |
| |
| * 5/ Solve for the upper free surface evolution using the //FreeSurfaceSolver// (See information [[tips:freesurface|here]], and you might also need the [[userfunctions:zs|USF_Zs]] user function). |
| |
| * 6/ Solve for the lower free surface evolution. |
| |
| * 7/ Update the Mesh using //MeshUpdate//. |
| |
| * 8/ Update the ''GroundedMask'' using [[solvers:grounded|GroundedSolver]]. |

| ==== Example ==== |
| An example, not solving for the grounding line, but for a basal cavity opening at the interface between ice and a rigid bedrock, can be found in ''[ELMER_TRUNK]/elmerice/Tests/Contact''. This test is similar to what was done in Gagliardini et al. (2007), but it includes the recent developments induced by solving for the grounding line dynamics. |
| A second example using the MISMIP setup and two free surfaces can be found in ''[ELMER_TRUNK]/elmerice/Tests/GL_MISMIP''. |
