Abstract: The freezing of a water rivulet begins with a water thread flowing over a very cold surface, is naturally followed by the growth of an ice layer and ends up with a water rivulet flowing on a static thin ice wall. The structure of this final ice layer presents a surprising linear shape that thickens with the distance. This paper presents a theoretical model and experimental characterisation of the ice growth dynamics, the final ice shape and the temperature fields. In a first part, we establish a 2D model, based on the advection-diffusion heat equations, that allows us to predict the shape of the ice structure and the temperature fields in both the water and the ice. Then, we study experimentally the formation of the ice layer and we show that both the transient dynamics and the final shape are well captured by the model. In a last part, we characterise experimentally the temperature fields in the ice and in the water, using an infrared camera. The model shows an excellent agreement with the experimental fields. In particular, it predicts well the linear decrease of the water surface temperature observed along the plane, confirming that the final ice shape is a consequence of the interaction between the thermal boundary layer and the free surface.
