Abstract

We present results of a numerical simulation of the thermal convection in the subsurface mushy ice layer of Europa, one of the Jupiter’s moons. Beside fluid dynamics and heat transfer within such a layer, heat conduction in the solid crustal surface and heat exchange between the two phases – mushy ice and solid crust – are included in our model in order to follow also the evolution of the phase front.
