We attribute the occurrence of the two melting patterns to the interplay between two competing flow structures: local circumfluence modulated by front perturbation and transversal chaotic mixing.

In addition, the classic mass transport theory for R-D convection drastically underestimates the melting rate and misses key variable(s).
