Unified Linear Stability Analysis for Thermal Convections in Spherical Shells Under Different Boundary Conditions and Heating Modes
Abstract Layered interior structure of most planets may be well approximated by spherical shells. An important subject for analyzing planet thermal structure and evolution is to determine the transitional condition from heat conduction dominated mechanism to thermal convection dominated mechanism in...
