Conservation of salt with salt-retaining ice
ID: conservation-of-salt-with-salt-retaining-ice
Let liquid mass freeze incrementally, and let each new ice increment retain salinity with constant , where is the instantaneous well-mixed liquid salinity. Conservation gives , hence . Integrating yields . For frozen mass fraction , . Specifying a fixed bulk ice salinity instead produces a different, though first-order compatible, finite-mass balance.
