This dataset contains 16 movies showing the results of numerically
modelling deformation and recrystallisation in ice on the microscopic
scale using the modelling platform Elle. The movies illustrate the 2D
microstructure evolution under pure shear deformation in terms of
crystallographic preferred orientations, dislocation densities and local
strain rates. The numerical simulations are used to investigate the
relevance of the process of grain dissection for ice microdynamics.
Further information is provided in the related publication “The
relevance of grain dissection for grain size reduction in polar ice:
insights from numerical models and ice core microstructure analysis” by
Steinbach et al. (2017).
