ＣＯＥ特別セミナーシリーズ第１回
日時：平成１６年６月１１日（金）１０：１５〜１１：４５
場所：３号館３２６室
講師：Dr. Alex M. Forte（Universite' du Que'bec a` Montre'al ）


"Numerical Modelling of Buoyancy Induced Flow in Earth's Mantle:
Application to Global Geophysical Surface Observables"

(1) Introduction

- thermal convection modelling and global seismic tomography
- present-day mantle dynamics and convection-related surface observables

(2) Modelling Viscous Mantle Flow

2.1 Analytical Models of Incompressible Flow in a 3-D Spherical Shell

- basic field equations and poloidal and toroidal flow solutions
- poloidal Green functions in the spectral domain
- spectral geodynamic kernels functions for surface observables

2.2 Numerical Models of Compressible Flow with Radial Viscosity Variations

- linearized field equations
- covariant tensor equations and Generalized Spherical Harmonics
- poloidal and toroidal systems of flow equations in the spectral domain
   (the propagator equations)
- internal boundary conditions: phase-change and chemical boundaries
- surface boundary conditions
- treatment of hydrostatic perturbations in the core
- re-normalized flow equations using logarithmic viscosity and logarithmic
   density representations

(3) Modelling Convection-Related Surface Observables

- outline of recent radial viscosity inferences
- geodynamic kernels functions
- predicted surface observables based on seismic tomography

(4) Concluding Comments => Preview of Lecture 2 ("Modelling Mantle Dynamics with
     Rigid Tectonic Plates and Internal Viscosity Heterogeneity")

       those who wish to pursue a more detailed reading of the
       relevant published literature.
