Performance and applicability of a 2.5-D ice-flow model in the vicinity of a dome

Three-dimensional ice flow modelling requires a large number of computing resources and observation data, such that 2-D simulations are often preferable. However, when there is significant lateral divergence, this must be accounted for (2.5-D models), and a flow tube is considered (volume between tw...
