Abstract
We here describe the process by which a complex model set of equations and boundary conditions may be rationally reduced to a simpler and more manageable set by the processes of non- dimensionalization and asymptotic approximation. Such a reduced model (derived elsewhere) is then presented for an incompressible, two-dimensional ice flow. It is shown that the effect of introducing a (realistic) sliding law which is continuously dependent on the temperature has a major effect on the bedrock temperature profile. -from Author
