This hands-on introduction to numerical geodynamic modelling provides a solid grounding in the necessary mathematical theory and techniques, including continuum mechanics and …
Numerical simulation of the processes in the Earth's mantle is a key piece in understanding its dynamics, composition, history and interaction with the lithosphere and the Earth's core …
Calculating surface topography in geodynamic models is a common numerical problem. Besides other approaches, the so-called 'sticky air'approach has gained interest as a free …
We review the methods available for large deformation simulations of geomaterials before presenting a Lagrangian integration point finite element method designed specifically to …
Ongoing developments in cardiac modelling have resulted, in particular, in the development of advanced and increasingly complex computational frameworks for simulating cardiac …
Previous experimental studies of convection in fluids with temperature‐dependent viscosity reached viscosity contrasts of the order of 105. Although this value seems large, it still might …
Computations have helped elucidate the dynamics of Earth's mantle for several decades already. The numerical methods that underlie these simulations have greatly evolved within …

Here it is documented how an existing code for modelling mantle convection in a cartesian domain, Stag3D, has been converted to model a 3D spherical shell by using the recently …
As high‐performance computing facilities and sophisticated modeling software become available, modeling mantle convection in a three‐dimensional (3‐D) spherical shell …
