Possibility of Convection for Diffusion (Newtonian) Viscosity in the Ice Shell of Europa?

Abstract: Abstract. Recent investigations into convection in Europa's ice shell have been based on nonNewtonian (stress-dependent) or Newtonian (stress-independent) viscosity for water ice. However, despite the wide use of Newtonian convection, experimentally observed water ice flow is non-Newtonian, and analysis of stability against convection of the ice shell using updated flow laws has been only performed for non-Newtonian rheologies. Here we use the flow law proposed for diffusion creep to analyze the possibility of… Show more

“…There is currently certain consensus that the ice shell of Europa floats on an internal ocean (e.g., Kivelson et al, 2000), is some tens of kilometers thick (e.g., Schenk, 2002;Schilling et al, 2004), and that its lower part is convective (e.g., McKinnon, 1999;Hussmann et al, 2002;Nimmo and Manga, 2002;Ruiz and Tejero, 2003;Tobie et al, 2003;López et al, 2003;Barr et al, 2004;Showman and Han, 2004;Mitri and Showman, 2005;Moore, 2006).…”
