Thermal Convection in Europa’s Silicate Mantle
We perform numerical simulations in 3D spherical geometry to study the properties of convection in Europa’s silicate mantle using the finite-element code CitcomS including temperature-dependent viscosity. Our simulations show that thermal convection occurs if the reference viscosity is – PaS, rheological activation energy is 150-300 kJ/mol, and the viscosity contrast (due to temperature variati...
متن کاملMantle convection, the asthenosphere, and Earth’s thermal history
Calculations of mantle convection generally use constant rates of internal heating and time-invariant core-mantle boundary temperature. In contrast, parameterized convection calculations, sometimes called thermal history calculations, allow these properties to vary with time but only provide a single average temperature for the entire mantle. Here I consider three-dimensional spherical convecti...
متن کاملFractal aggregation kinetics contributions to thermal conductivity of nano-suspensions in unsteady thermal convection
Nano-suspensions (NS) exhibit unusual thermophysical behaviors once interparticle aggregations and the shear flows are imposed, which occur ubiquitously in applications but remain poorly understood, because existing theories have not paid these attentions but focused mainly on stationary NS. Here we report the critical role of time-dependent fractal aggregation in the unsteady thermal convectio...
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 کاملThe Onset of Convection in an Unsteady Thermal Boundary Layer in a Porous Medium
In this study, the linear stability of an unsteady thermal boundary layer in a semi-infinite porous medium is considered. This boundary layer is induced by varying the temperature of the horizontal boundary sinusoidally in time about the ambient temperature of the porous medium; this mimics diurnal heating and cooling from above in subsurface groundwater. Thus if instability occurs, this will h...
