A benchmark study on mantle convection in a 3-D spherical shell using CitcomS
[1] As high-performance computing facilities and sophisticated modeling software become available, modeling mantle convection in a three-dimensional (3-D) spherical shell geometry with realistic physical parameters and processes becomes increasingly feasible. However, there is still a lack of comprehensive benchmark studies for 3-D spherical mantle convection. Here we present benchmark and test...
متن کاملMethods for thermochemical convection in Earth’s mantle with force-balanced plates
[1] Models of convection in the mantle can be used to study the effects of differentiation and remixing on the geochemical evolution of the Earth. Implementation of melting and degassing at mid-ocean ridges and subduction zones requires an adequate approximation of plate tectonics as well as temperature-dependent rheology. We have developed a new two-dimensional cylindrical model that combines ...

متن کاملZoned mantle convection.
We review the present state of our understanding of mantle convection with respect to geochemical and geophysical evidence and we suggest a model for mantle convection and its evolution over the Earth's history that can reconcile this evidence. Whole-mantle convection, even with material segregated within the D" region just above the core-mantle boundary, is incompatible with the budget of argo...
متن کاملThermal convection with non-Newtonian plates
The coupling between plate motions and mantle convection is investigated using a fully dynamic numerical model consisting of a thin non-Newtonian layer which is dynamically coupled to a thick Newtonian viscous layer. The non-Newtonian layer has a simple power-law rheology characterized by power-law index n and stiffness constant pp. A systematic investigation of steady, single cell configuratio...
