Simulation parameters and outputs for towards a physically and microstructure-based equation for the evolution of the specific surface area in snow

The control of the ambient conditions (temperature and temperature gradient) and of the physical processes at play on the rate of change of the specific surface area have been evaluated. Based on the evaluation, a new physically-informed governing law for the coarsening of microstructures has been proposed.

This law accurately predicts the simulation outputs under various conditions. Furthermore, a potential parametrization of newly introduced material properties has been proposed and evaluated on snow coarsening data. This dataset contains the parameters used for the mesh generation and the finite-element simulations.
