An approach to thermal convection problems in geophysics with application to the earth's mantle and ground water systems

Creator:

Lowell, Robert P.

Abstract:

Two thermal convection problems of geophysical interest are examined, theoretically. First, convection in the earth's mantle is treated on the basis of a one-dimensional 'strip model'. This model results from further simplification of the well known 'Rayleigh model'. For homogeneous, Newtonian fluids, the strip model yields results similar to those...
