COMSOL Multiphysics models solving the stress field in the ice shell of Saturn's moon Enceladus under different pressurized ocean scenarios. The dataset includes models with varying ice shell thickness, sea thickness, and boundary conditions, with a parameter sweep for ocean angle. It was created by S. A. Johnston of the University of Maryland, College Park.
Use Cases
- Analyzing stress distribution in an icy shell based on different boundary conditions (Fixed, Roller, Ocean, North).
- Comparing tectonic responses based on variations in ice shell thickness and sea thickness parameters.
- Studying the effect of ocean angle on stress fields using the systematic 2-degree increment parameter sweep.
Strengths
- Includes multiple model configurations (Fixed, Roller, Ocean, North) for comparative analysis.
- Contains a systematic parameter sweep where the sea angle varies in 2-degree increments.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count and file size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
