Interior and Surface Dynamics of Terrestrial Bodies and their Implications for the Habitability

“…These partial differential equations are solved under several simplifying assumptions (e.g. incompressibility of the mantle) with modern numerical codes (mostly fi nite volume, fi nite element or spectral codes; see Noack and Tosi, 2013 ) on supercomputers.…”

“…Also, the treatment of the rheology (e.g. using viscosity approximations for the simulations) may have a strong impact on the numerical results (Noack and Tosi, 2013 ) , and more studies are required here.…”
