    Abstract

    We present experimental results of the dissolution of a vertical ice wall in contact with homogeneous salty water. Dissolving velocities and interface conditions are measured over a range of ambient temperatures. The results are consistent with the experiments of Josberger and Martin [5] and are accurately predicted by the scaling model of Kerr and McConnochie [6]. When the salty water is stratified we find that both the dissolving velocity and interface temperature are significantly reduced.
