Governing equations
The governing equations of numerical modelling include conservation of mass, momentum, and energy with different types of rheology.
The 101 Geodynamic Modelling effort brings the fundamental basics of numerical geodynamic modelling of the solid Earth to modelling experts as well as non-modellers to enable more effective cross-disciplinary modelling studies.
Computing
Different computation paradigms including sequential and parallel programming each with the corresponding discretised domain.
Numerical discretisation (space & time)
One-dimensional discretisation in space and time based on discrete temporal and spatial steps.
Deformation mechanisms
The three deformation mechanisms viscous, elastic, and brittle (a.k.a. plastic).
Geodynamic scales
Spatial and temporal scales of common geodynamic processes, which occur over a wide range of time and length scales.
