Problem Description

This model describes the full isoviscous McKenzie equations (with melting), for a system driven by a corner flow velocity boundary condition for the solid phase. These equations couple a Stokes system for the solid phase with a Darcy flow for the melt moving through the permeable solid, and an advection term for the porosity field. The flow is driven by a corner flow boundary condition for the solid, which creates a region of low dynamic pressure about the area of discontinuity, and a linear ramp in the melting function.

Running the Simulation

The model is run from the directory:

    Magma/Models/Milestone5/IsoviscousMcKenzieRidge2D/

and executing as:

    ./StGermain IsoviscousMcKenzieRidge2D.xml

taking care to create a soft link to the StGermain binary in the build directory as before.
