Flotation and free surface flow in a model for subglacial drainage. Part 1. Distributed drainage

We present a continuum model for melt water drainage through a spatially distributed system of connected subglacial cavities, and consider in this context the complications introduced when effective pressure or water pressure drops to zero. Instead of unphysically allowing water pressure to become n...
