Geodynamic flows, such as the convection within the Earth's mantle, are characterized by the extremely viscous nature of the flow, as well as the dependence of the viscosity on temperature. As such, a PDE-based approach, coupling the (stationary)...

Abstract: While the combination of standard finite-element discretizations and fast multigrid-based solvers is now well-established and well-understood for uniformly elliptic systems of PDEs, much work remains for problems that fall outside this...
