Geometry of Arrested Thermal Wedges

Abstract
The geometry of arrested thermal wedges is studied on the basis of Schijf and Schoenfeld's one‐dimensional model. The derived equations for the dimensionless length and shape of the wedge are also given in graphic form in terms of the Darcy‐Weisbach interfacial‐friction coefficient, and easily measured gross flow and density parameters. However, cannot be estimated analytically. The difficulty of estimating is bypassed by approximation of previously known relations or by new analytical forms that contain the free‐surface slope instead of
