Implementation of a Volume-of-Fluid Method in a Finite Element Code with Applications to Thermochemical Convection in a Density Stratified Fluid in the Earth's Mantle
Jonathan M. Robey, Elbridge Gerry Puckett
We describe the implementation of a second-order accurate volume-of-fluid interface tracking algorithm in the open source finite element code ASPECT, which is designed to model con…

New numerical approaches for modeling thermochemical convection in a compositionally stratified fluid
Elbridge Gerry Puckett, Donald L Turcotte, Louise H Kellogg +3
Seismic imaging of the mantle has revealed large and small scale heterogeneities in the lower mantle; specifically structures known as large low shear velocity provinces (LLSVP) be…

Flexible and scalable particle-in-cell methods for massively parallel computations
R. Gassmoeller, E. Heien, E. G. Puckett +1
Particle-in-cell methods couple mesh-based methods for the solution of continuum mechanics problems, with the ability to advect and evolve particles. They have a long history and m…
