Numerical studies of thermal convection with temperature-and pressure-dependent viscosity at extreme viscosity contrasts
Motivated by convection of planetary mantles, we consider a mathematical model for Rayleigh-Bénard convection in a basally heated layer of a fluid whose viscosity depends strongly on temperature and pressure, defined in an Arrhenius form. The model is solved numerically for extremely large viscosity...
