TextPublisher: Cambridge: Cambridge university press 2019Edition: Second editionDescription: xiii, 471 pages : illustrationsISBN: 9781107143142Subject(s): Geophysics | GeodynamicsDDC classification: 550.151 18 Summary: "Introduction to Numerical Geodynamic Modelling This hands-on introduction to numerical geodynamic modelling provides a solid grounding in the necessary mathematical theory and techniques, including continuum mechanics and partial differential equations, before introducing key numerical modelling methods and applications. Fully updated, this second edition includes four completely new chapters covering the most recent advances in modelling inertial processes, seismic cycles and fluid-solid interactions, and the development of adaptive mesh refinement algorithms. Many well- documented, state-of-the-art visco-elasto-plastic 2-D models are presented, which allow robust modelling of key geodynamic processes. Requiring only minimal prerequisite mathematical training, and featuring over 60 practical exercises and 90 MATLAB examples, this user- friendly resource encourages experimentation with geodynamic models. It is an ideal introduction for advanced courses and can be used as a self-study aid for graduates seeking to master geodynamic modelling for their own research projects"--
