Comparisons of spherical shell and plane-layer mantle convection models
Plane-layer geometry convection models remain useful for modelling planetary mantle dynamics however they yield significantly warmer mean temperatures than spherical shell models. For example, in a uniform property spherical shell with the same radius ratio, f, as the Earth's mantle; a bottom h...
