Solid-state convection
Simulation of infinite Prandtl number, thermal convection (e.g., mantle convection).
Numerical modelling is explained in this collection of accurate, accessible science graphics, designed to make understanding complex Earth science simulations clear and engaging. These visuals show how computational models are used to study processes such as plate tectonics, mantle convection, and subduction, turning abstract data into intuitive, easy-to-grasp representations. Ideal for educators, students, and geoscience enthusiasts, this numerical modelling graphic collection brings cutting-edge geoscience research to life with visually rich resources for teaching and learning.
