User Function Coulomb Friction Law

General Informations

  • USF Fortran File: USF_Sliding.f90
  • USF Name: Friction_Coulomb
  • Required Input Variable(s): A Flow Solution in Flow Solution Name, Normal Vector, Stress

General Description

The file USF_Sliding.f90 contains two user functions to apply non-linear friction at the base of glacier.

The first user function (Sliding_Weertman) is a non-linear Weertman-type friction law and is described here. The second user function (Friction_Coulomb) is a non-linear water pressure dependant friction law, as proposed by Schoof (2005) and Gagliardini et al. (2007), and is presented in this page.

The friction law in Friction_Coulomb is of the form:
tau_b = C.N {[{ {chi . {u_b}^{-n} }/ {(1 + a . chi^q)} }]}^{1/n} . u_b

Parameters: Friction Law Sliding Coefficient → As ! Friction Law Post-Peak Exponent → q >= 1 ! Friction Law Maximum Value → C ~ max bed slope ! Friction Law Linear Velocity → ut0 ! Friction Law PowerLaw Exponent → m = (n Glen's law) ! ! Water Pressure (BC) (Compressive - positive) ! ! tau_b = C.N.[ X . ub^-n / (1 + a.X^q) ]^1/n . ub ! with a = (q-1)^(q-1) / q^q and X = ub / (C^n N^n As) ! ! ⇒ Bdrag = C.N.[ X . ub^-n / (1 + a.X^q) ]^1/n
