What do ice cubes in a cocktail have in common with butter on a pan? And what can both tell us about the physics of melting? Through controlled experiments we explored the melting dynamics of (nearly) unconstrained systems, and compared our results with direct numerical simulations and analytical predictions, and show that two idealised systems at the extremes of Reynolds number (i.e., lubrication approximation, and fully developed isotropic turbulence) can provide useful insights for complex, inaccessible phenomena.
