A numerical study for convection in a cylindrical model with continuously varying viscosity

In the framework of a cylindrical symmetry model for convective motions in the asthenosphere, a new profile for the viscosity coefficient depending on depth is suggested here. The numerical elaboration of the above mentioned model leads to interesting results which fit well with experimental observa...
