Earth Sciences advance
Simplified 2-D depth-time diagram representing how the Earth Sciences advance through direct and indirect observations, and physical and conceptual modelling.
Geodynamic modelling philosophies
The two overarching geodynamic modelling philosophies: Specific modelling and generic modelling.
Manuscript structure (geodynamic modelling)
Manuscript structure for a geodynamic numerical modelling study following the IMRAD structure.
Geodynamic model complexity
Different model complexities for the heart (top) and the Earth (bottom).
Effective visualisation (geodynamic modelling)
Effective visualisation through a scientific use of colours.
Geodynamic modelling problems
Common numerical problems in geodynamic modelling including drunken sailor instability, chequerboard patterns, and mesh dependency.
Governing equations
The governing equations of numerical modelling include conservation of mass, momentum, and energy with different types of rheology.
