Abstract

Results of the analysis developed in Chaps. 3 and 4 and measurements obtained with the experimental design of Chap. 5 are presented and discussed in the chapter. Variation of the parameters describing the several underlying physics of the absorption, accumulation and draining stages of melting are graphically summarized. Visualization of the frost slumping is presented.
