Analyzing Ocean Currents on Icy Moons, Europa and Enceladus

AbstractThis study investigates the rotational dynamics of ocean currents on Jupiter s and Saturn s icy moons, Europa and Enceladus. The research aims to quantify the relationships between ocean depth, rotational forces, and the transit times of nano-sized silica particles. Numerical simulations were conducted to model the subsurface ocean dynamics of these moons. Python libraries, including…
