3-D thermomechanical geodynamic modelling of heating and volcanism in the Massif Central (France) and Eifel Volcanic Region (Germany)
E. Momoh, S. Tait, H S. Bhat
The French Massif Central and the Eifel Volcanic Field represent two of the enigmatic features in France and Germany, respectively. Both areas have been affected by Cenozoic volcan…
3-D numerical modelling of the feedback between deformation and thermal structure during subduction initiation for the French Lesser Antilles
E. Momoh, S. Tait, H. S. Bhat
We used 3-D thermomechanical modelling to investigate conditions during subduction-zone initiation and early thermal development with focus on the Lesser Antilles. Our model impose…
Volumetric (dilatant) plasticity in geodynamic models and implications on thermal dissipation and strain localization
Ekeabino Momoh, Harsha S. Bhat, Stephen Tait +1
Here, we present a new thermomechanical geodynamic, numerical implementation that incorporates Maxwell viscoelastic rheology accounting for temperature-dependent power-law dislocat…
Elasto-thermo-visco-plastic numerical modelling from a laboratory to geodynamic scale: implications for convergence-driven experiments
Ekeabino Momoh, Harsha S. Bhat, Steve Tait
The development of a subduction zone, whether spontaneous or induced, encompasses a stage of strain localization and is epitomized by the growth of lithospheric-scale shear bands.…
