IceShellXtal

This code simulates a freezing intrusion into an ocean world's ice shell:

  • Nature of the solids (ice and salts) that precipitate
  • Spatial distribution of the ice and salts depending on assumptions about whether the chamber liquid is mixed faster than salts settle
  • Composition of the residual fluid, including water activity and solution density and conductivity.

IceShellXtal uses PHREEQC (Parkhurst & Appelo 2013) to carry out the compositional calculations, with two databases described in my frezchem repository. The PHREEQC output is analyzed in terms of solid volumes and, in the case of no mixing, the complex spatial distribution is plotted using SDL2 libraries. Running IceShellXtal requires installing the IPhreeqc modules, SDL2, and SDL2_image dependencies. IceShellXtal has only been developed and run on a Mac (OS 12.4 Monterey).

I am a planetary scientist and astrobiologist. I seek to understand if oceans on planets can harbor life by simulating their physics and chemistry.
