Abstract
- The article presents the Tiling method to couple ice flow models of different orders of complexity. The goal of the method is to determine the spatial extent of where higher-order models are used to lessen the computational cost while retaining the model precision. A geometry for which all models yield similar results is used to examine the consistency of the method and a geometry where a full-Stokes model is needed in the vicinity of the ice front is used. The results reveal that the hybrid models show important improvements over mono-model approaches and lessen computational times.
