Ice-bearing wall-plume thermodynamic invariant
ID: ice-bearing-wall-plume-thermodynamic-invariant
An ice-bearing plume at local liquidus equilibrium conserves excess enthalpy and salt relative to the ambient liquidus water. Eliminating its temperature and brine composition gives . To dilute-crystal order this fixes its advected ice volume, hence its leading buoyancy flux. A positive rising branch needs a positive source invariant.
