Abstract

The melting of opposite horizontal ice plates into binary aqueous solution is considered experimentally. Specifically, mean melting mass of ice plates, flow field in the liquid layer and temperature decrease of ice plates are examined in this paper. At the beginning, flow field is chaotic. Melted water stagnated in the upper part of the aqueous solution layer, and the melting of the upper ice plate was gradually suppressed. Therefore, it is considered that the melting from above is the main cause of the vertically opposite melting. As the melting progresses, the melting system is suppressed as a whole, and the velocity field gradually weakend.
