| Abstract | A finite element algorithm is presented for the solution of the unsteady free-surface problem governed by the full, axi-symmetric, slow, linearly-viscous fluid flow equations for an isothermal ice sheet on a flat bed. A class of linearly viscous Reduced Model, Shallow Ice Approximation, exact solutions is also constructed, for which the relative error is of order of the very small surface slope squared. The finite element algorithm is shown to reproduce the exact solutions to a high degree of accuracy for a series of examples involving expanding and contracting ice sheet spans, and increasing and decreasing thicknesses, which is an important test of its validity. The stability of various equilibrium ice sheet configurations is shown to depend on the manner in which the surface accumulation distribution is prescribed. If it is prescribed purely as a function of surface elevation the equilibrium is unstable, but if it is prescribed purely as a function of radial position the equilibrium is stable. Different weightings of the prescription, in terms of elevation and horizontal location, are investigated to determine how the stability of the steady-state solutions depends on the weighting parameter $\beta$ . It is found that for a range of values of $\beta$ between two limits points on the solutions branches, no steady-state solutions exit. In contrast, direct solution of the Reduced Model equations yields corresponding solution branches meeting at a unique bifurcation point, with steady-state solutions existing for all values of $\beta$ . |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
